economic naturalists through active learning. By eliminating
overwhelming detail and focusing on core principles, students from
all backgrounds are able to gain a deeper understanding of
economics. Focused on helping students become "economic
naturalists," people who employ basic economic principles to
understand and explain what they observe in the world around them.
COVID-19 pandemic content, analysis, and examples further engage
students. With engaging questions, explanations, exercises and
videos, the authors help students relate economic principles to a
host of everyday experiences such as going to the ATM or purchasing
airline tickets. Throughout this process, the authors encourage
students to become "economic naturalists." Author developed
Learning Glass concept overview videos and Worked Problem videos
give students an overview of challenging and important concepts.
With new videos and engagement tools in Connect, like
Application-Based Activities, alongside SmartBook's adaptive

Microeconomics and Behaviour, third edition, is an accessible yet
intellectually challenging and engaging textbook for students. It
develops core analytical and technical tools and embeds them in a
collection of real-world examples and applications to illuminate
the power and versatility of the economic way of thinking. With
this approach, students develop economic intuition and are
stimulated to think more deeply about the technical tools they
learn, and to find more interesting ways to apply them. This
enables students to not just understand microeconomics, but to
think like economists themselves, and to develop a lasting interest
in the discipline. Key Features * Fully updated chapters, including
new and expanded material on international labour markets, the gig
economy, behavioural game theory and nudge theory. * Extensive
pedagogical features such as examples, key terms and definitions,
in-chapter exercises, chapter summaries, and review questions and
problems. * Economic Naturalist examples that show how economic
principles can be used to explain experiences and observations of
everyday life. New examples include: "Why do firms benefit from the
gig economy?", "Why is self-checkout becoming the norm in shops?",
and "Why do online retailers have flagship stores?". Connect (R)
Resources Available with McGraw-Hill Education's Connect (R), the
well-established online learning platform, which helps faculty and
institutions improve student outcomes and course delivery
efficiency. In addition to maths tutorials and SmartBook, the
awardwinning adaptive reading experience, the new Connect (R)
features for this edition include: * Economic Application Based
Activities that provide students with valuable practice, using
problem solving skills to apply their knowledge to realistic
scenarios. Students progress from understanding basic concepts to
using their knowledge to analyse complex scenarios and solve
problems. * Economic Naturalist graphing questions which have been
newly developed to complement this key pedagogical feature from the
textbook. * Interactive Graphs that help students see the relevance
of the subject matter by providing visual displays of real data for
students to manipulate. All graphs are accompanied by assignable
assessment questions and feedback for students. To learn more,

In August 1992 Robert Frank's good friend and antique dealer
Reginald Rankin invited Frank on a trip to Pangnirtung, a village
of around 1,300 Inuit inhabitants in the Arctic Circle. This book
is Frank's documentation of the five-day sojourn. Curiously Frank
depicts Pangnirtung void of its people: the still harbour, public
housing, a convenience store, a telephone post. Sincere without
being sentimental, the photos are shaped by a short text from Frank
himself, "Prefabricated homes along the main road in Pangnirtung.
At times a decorated window - reflections inside or outside. Stones
- maybe the balance of a big sky above..." Robert Frank was born in
Zurich, Switzerland in 1924 and immigrated to the United States in
1947. He is best known for his seminal book The Americans, first
published in 1958, which gave rise to a distinct new form in the
photo-book, and his experimental film Pull My Daisy, made in 1959.
Frank's other important projects include the books Black White and
Things, 1952, and The Lines of My Hand, 1972, and the film
Cocksucker Blues for the Rolling Stones, 1972. He divides his time
between New York City and Nova Scotia, Canada.
With an accessible approach, the third European edition of
Principles of Economics provides students with the tools to analyze
current economic issues. The book is underpinned by a focus on
seven Core Principles, which help students to make the link between
economic theory and practice. The 'economic naturalist' approach,
supported by exercises, problems and examples, encourages students
to employ economics principles to understand and explain the world
around them.Developed from the well-regarded US textbook by Frank
and Bernanke, it presents an intuitive approach to economics and is
suitable for all students taking a Principles of Economics course.
A simpler life. In a shadow cast by the jarring beginning of the
new millennium, simplicity has an undeniable appeal. Global
conflicts, domestic security concerns, and a stalling economy can
make keeping up with the Joneses feel like, at best, a misguided
luxury. Now is not a time for excess; it is a time, it would seem,
to focus on 'what really matters.' Thus the appeal of voluntary
simplicity, a notion that combines the freedom of modernity with
certain comforts and virtues of the past. The authors in this
volume speak to the what, why, and how of voluntary simplicity (and
even to some extent the where, when, and who). Those included range
from contemporary academics to thinkers from the turn of the last
century, from ardent supporters to staunch critics. They approach
the subject from a variety of perspectives-economic, psychological,
sociological, historical, and theological. Each either implicitly
or explicitly helps us explore the desirability and feasibility of
voluntary simplicity.
In 1950, Robert Frank left his job as a photographer in New York to
travel through Europe with his family. That summer he arrived in
Valencia, Spain, which was at the time a humble, bleak place
enduring the austere conditions of the postwar period like the rest
of the country. The pictures Frank took of Valencia depict the
daily life of a fishing village. His portrayal is so natural and
clear that further verbal explanation seems superfluous; they
simply reflect, in the photo grapher's words, "the humanity of the
moment". The photographs in this book, many of which have never
been published before, allow dignity to override poverty. Robert
Frank, a key figure in photographic history, was born in Zurich in
1924 and immigrated to the United States in 1947. He is best known
for his seminal book The Americans, first published in 1959, which
gave rise to a distinct new form in the photobook, and his
experimental film Pull My Daisy (1959). Frank's other projects
include the books Black White and Things (1954) and The Lines of My
Hand (1972), and the film Cocksucker Blues (1972) documenting the
Rolling Stones. His awards include the Erich Salomon Prize (1985),
the Hasselblad Award (1996), the Cornell Capa Award (1999) and the
PHotoEspana Award (2007) amongst others. Frank divides his time
between New York City and Nova Scotia, Canada.
Household Inventory Record is a new readymade in the series of
Robert Frank's late visual diaries. Composed of polaroids, the thin
and upright volume continues the journey into Frank's realm and
imagery, showing us snapshots from his travels, of his friends and
everyday curiosities.
