The twelfth edition of "Economics" continues in the vein of its overall message: people who comprehend principles will have a great advantage functioning in - and making sense of - the emerging world. The new edition has been revised, polished and updated. A sample of the book's new discussions and analyzes include: the switch to GDP accounting; Soviet economy in transition; economics and the environment; the crisis in American financial institutions; economics of information; strategic behaviour; public choice and tax analysis; and more. The book is divided into two sections - Macroeconomics and Microeconomics - which are also available as separate texts.

Following in much the same vein as its predecessor, Handbook on Teaching Principles of Economics, this handbook's intention is to offer guidance and advice to intending, new, and seasoned professors. But unlike its predecessor this handbook's aim is wider-undergraduate economics in general. This goal is acheived first by the editors themselves, both recognized leaders in economic education, and the handbook's distinguished contributors, such as Robert Frank (Cornell) and Michael J. Boskin (Stanford). TEACHING UNDERGRADUATE ECONOMICS' twenty-two chapters fall within four general categories (Goals and Objectives, Foundations, Instructional Methods, and Evaluation) and give advice about everything from the basics to the use of technology and experimentation in the teaching of economics.

Demographic predictions are that students with close connections to their bilingual/bicultural heritages (now labeled language minority students by the federal government) will be very large in number in the near future, becoming the majority in many states over the next three decades. The authors feel it is the responsibility of all educators, not just specialists, to prepare themselves to work with language minority students. This time-tested classic text (not an edited volume) integrates theory and practice and provides comprehensive coverage of bilingual and ESL issues.

Study Guide for Macroeconomics

In The E Generation authors Dr. Marilyn Kourilsky of the Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership and Dr. William Walstad, director of the National Center for Research in Economic Education and the John T. and Mable M. Hay Professor of Economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, contend that the nation’s economy will increasingly rely on entrepreneurs to stimulate economic growth – and that while a growing majority of the nation’s students would like to start and own a business, they are mostly ill prepared to do so. 
Kourilsky and Walstad also emphasize the relevance of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial thinking for all youth – not just those who might start businesses. “Entrepreneurial thinking skills are profoundly important coping mechanisms that can help everyone deal with the hidden opportunities and unexpected challenges in life, whether they work for themselves or someone else,” explained Dr. Kourilsky. 
Referencing findings from a series of four major Gallup surveys that shows that nearly seven of 10 teens would like to start their own business but know little about how to do so, the authors contend the nation’s education system fails to prepare students for the world of entrepreneurship. 
Furthermore, the research shows that fewer than half of the students surveyed could answer basic questions about entrepreneurship, business and economics. For instance, only half knew that the prices of most products in a competitive market are determined by supply and demand. And about one in 10 knew that financing a new business typically required personal money or borrowing from family and friends. 
The Kansas City-based Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, the leading foundation dedicated to entrepreneurial research and education, commissioned the research. 
Kourilsky and Walstad argue that today’s education curriculum is rooted in yesterday’s economy and that a changing entrepreneurial economy requires a different education approach. 
Through their book, the authors seek to raise awareness about the real answer to education reform in the country: curriculum reform that engages students in the learning process and prepares them to enter an increasingly technologically driven world. 
“Those students who do not learn about running the business ‘at the dinner table’ typically do not perceive they have access through the school system to the skills and knowledge that will enable them to have a shot at ‘making a job’ rather than ‘taking a job’,” said Dr. Kourilsky. “One might only wonder what additional opportunities the future might hold for these youth and the nation had their education been more complete,” added Dr. Walstad. 
The E Generation provides insight into the next steps educators must take to enhance entrepreneurship education, and recommends that educators and government officials take a closer look at curricula and respond to the overwhelming demand for entrepreneurship education by youth, teachers, the general public and the business community.
