Economics: AS and A Level (Cambridge International Examinations)
This book has been written for the new Cambridge International Examinations syllabus in Economics and is endorsed by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE). It is divided into two main units, Core (AS) and Extension (A level), each of which represents a self-contained programme of study. As well as fully supporting the syllabus, the book equips students with the skills needed to succeed in the examinations, and describes how these skills and concepts will be examined by CIE. To help students understand the topics and prepare for the examination, the authors have included a range of stimulus material and self-assessment tasks, as well as specimen CIE question papers. Although specifically produced for CIE's A level Economics examinations, the book will also be of value to students and teachers of other Economics syllabuses.
User Reviews about Economics: AS and A Level (Cambridge International Examinations)
As a teacher of Economics, I believe this manual matches very well the requirements of the Cambridge A/AS Level relevant syllabus. Bamford and colleagues provide students with the right tools needed to succeed in the exams. Each chapter includes an introducion, self-assessment tasks, cases, summary and key words: all of these parts cooperate in giving the students a wide vision of the topics. The text is a must for any AS Level or A Level Economics candidate. While many Economics manuals are considered unclear and unfriendly by the students, this book can really satisfy with the foundations of economics the young demanding reader. The language is simple and plain, while concepts remain always rigourous. Bamford and colleagues cover especially well the price system, international trade, economic efficiency, government intervention. The figures are clear and can be understood by anyone with a background in elementary algebra. Useful is the chapter about preparing for examinations. The book would work well as the right handbook for students who are interested in Economics also beyond A/AS Level. In my opinion, Bamford and colleagues have written a text that can also serve as a solid starting point for the first year of the university. I have really appreciated this book and I would like the idea of translating it for the Italian market. -- A VERY GOOD INTRO TO ECONOMICS
