Textbook: Important

We are using a non-traditional Textbook for this course. The Textbook is entirely available on-line. You will not be buying a physical Textbook, so your costs are zero (I will take a bow now!).

This book is as good as any that is published, but will be no good if you do not use it properly.To get to the Textbook, you simply click the link below.

Give the link in the Menu called “Textbook Online” a click and check out your FREE Microeconomics Textbook from Lumen Learning. Might be a good idea to Bookmark this and add it to your Favorites!

This may be the first time you have used an on-line, free textbook. Couple of tips:

1. The Table of Contents is what you first see when you open the textbook. The Chapters are all shown as are the sections within the chapters. These sections are links so you can click on them and go to the relevant material. So, in Chapter 3, for example, if you want to read about Shifts in Demand, just hit that link.

2. At the end of each Chapter there are useful Self Check Questions and a Glossary of terms.

3. You move through the Chapters by using the Previous or Next buttons at the bottom of the page, or by using your browsers back and forward arrows.

4. You can quickly get back to the Table of Contents by clicking on the title of our book, Microeconomics, at the top of each page.

5. There is a Search box in the upper right of each page. Just put what you are looking for in there and you will be shown where that term or concept is discussed in the text.
