Logging this because I read it cover to cover for class, and it should count ;) But seriously, for an econ book, they authors did a great job of demonstrating theories through real-world cases and practice, and made the content clear and easy to retain. One of the best textbooks I've read for school.

The book is ok but I don’t find it has enough detail or explanation to be a good text for students.Example: figure 12-11 shows a double axis graph of recycling but doesn’t describe the graph as a company moves from 0 to 100% recycled materials.

Overall it seems more interested in covering and mentioning everything at a more superficial level than I am looking for.
