*Modern macroeconomics explained by the leading academic expert on growth Combining innovative treatment of macroeconomic concepts with the clearest presentation of “long run” growth theory, Chad Jones offers students an accessible and truly modern introduction to the field. With a new primer to bridge the shift from the ISLM model to an ISMP focus, and new material on the rise in health spending and top-end inequality, Macroeconomics, Fourth Edition is the ideal text for exposing undergraduates to current perspectives at a level they can understand.

*An approach that reflects economic growth in the 21st centuryIn Chapters 3-8, Jones walks students through a uniquely accessible introduction to modern growth theory. He then combines the Solow Model (the standard model of growth in other texts) with complete, accessible coverage of the Romer Model -- the foundation of modern growth theory -- to provide a more accurate explanation of how economists think about growth.

*A new primer that bridges the ISLM and ISMP models makes the short run more teachable In the Fourth Edition, coverage of the crisis has been updated as economists develop a fuller understanding of the recession and its ongoing effects, including the most recent developments in Europe. Chapter 14 includes a new section on the ongoing crisis in Europe, and Chapter 20, after exchange rates have been introduced, includes an extended section on the particular problems that afflicted Greece.

*An emphasis on solving real world problemsTo analyze the macro-economy like economists, intermediate-level students must be able to apply their knowledge by using the models and equations presented in the course. Every chapter includes two complete Worked Exercises that walk students step-by-step through a problem involving an important chapter concept.

More than atoms first—atoms focused. In Chemistry: An Atoms-Focused Approach, students see the world from a particulate point of view in every chapter. By starting with the smallest particles and assembling them into more elaborate structures, students better understand how the properties of substances are directly linked to their atomic and molecular structures. The authors, who have over two decades of combined experience teaching atoms-first, have gone beyond a reorganization of topics and emphasized the particulate nature of matter throughout the text, art, and problems, while placing the chemistry in a biological, environmental, or geological context.

Smartwork5, with more than 3,600 questions, helps students become better problem-solvers with hints, extensive answer-specific feedback, and complete solutions. Four hundred new questions support the new visualization pedagogy in the text, and 150 tutorial problems offer step-by-step assistance by breaking down problems into manageable parts and walking students through each step. The interactive ebook is integrated into Smartwork5, allowing students to read as they work through activities. The system is now tablet compatible and integrates with the most popular campus learning management systems.

Built from the ground up around case histories that teach foundational concepts in a real world context

Case Histories featuring real-life diagnoses drive the narrative in each chapter. Rather than tacking on or boxing off case studies, each chapter was written from the ground up to seamlessly blend core concepts with fascinating real-life scenarios. Many stories were drawn from international cases to highlight current issues in global health.

Helps students master the foundational concepts through consistent learning outcomes, section summaries, and critical thinking questions in every chapter. The end-of-chapter questions are tied directly with the learning objectives so it’s clear whether or not students have mastered the content.

The art program further promotes learning through outstanding photographs, meticulously developed life cycle drawings, and extensive bubble captions in almost every figure.

Unprecedented concision: At only 380 pages, Concise Introduction to Tonal Harmony is the first truly concise music theory text. Every chapter consists of just a few pages and isolates a key part-writing issue. Common student errors are anticipated—examples of mistakes, and how to avoid them, are scattered throughout the text—and brief musical examples are carefully curated to illustrate each concept.

Groundbreaking pedagogy: Online pedagogy helps students work through each chapter. Video tutorials help students hear the harmonies discussed in the text and demonstrate voice-leading procedures needed to complete assignments. Then, formative assessment activities invite students to quiz to learn. Students answer questions until they've demonstrated mastery of a skill, guided by robust feedback that helps them understand mistakes.

Ultimate flexibility: Short, modular chapters accommodate a wide variety of teaching and learning approaches. Chapters can be skipped or reordered to reflect different ways of organizing the theory sequence. The optional workbook includes hundreds of exercises, allowing instructors the flexibility to construct assignments that meet their students’ needs. Every workbook chapter follows a similar organization and features questions for review, chord spelling exercises, composition activities, and music for analysis.
