Customer Reviews

An easy read, but a bit out of date
I had to read this for a class and found it easy to read, but really out of date. Although revised in December of 2001, there is so much it left out in terms of changes in technology and 911 (and yes, these things do apply to Economics!) that I wonder how thoroughly it was updated.

If you're buying it, most probably you have to. Ask your professor to find a more current edition, but one that's as interesting and easy a read as this one, and you'll do fine in your Eco class!

Excellent
I purchased this book used, it was recieved in a timely fashion and its in great condition. There is no writing or torn pages.

Great Human Resource Book
I loved this book; granted I am a Human Resource major who loves law but seriously this book was very well put together. I actually read every word of this book and I can't say that about any other class/book. The way the explained things was easy to understand and kept you interested with lots of examples. I will be keeping this book for future reference!
