Gr 8 Up-Organized by topic, this reference book on economics and finance features a fun, colorful format. It's easy to find concepts and terminology on a variety of subjects, from money to markets to investments to trade, and the glossary is well indexed and thorough. This title would work especially well for those seeking to understand a particular concept or a specific term. However, it isn't a primer on economics. It doesn't compare and contrast the motives and behaviors of consumers and producers or address classic economic questions such as, -What happens when there is scarcity?- Weeks doesn't rely on real-world examples to illustrate concepts, and only a few ideas are defined using statistics or data. This omission means that this volume won't become dated, but readers will need to go elsewhere to see actual applications of these theories. VERDICT Recommended as a companion to a current events or economics course.-Amy Thurow, Rome Corners Intermediate School, Oregon, WI
