I would consider adopting this textbook for my sections of intermediate microeconomics and the main reasons for my interest are the high quality of the chapter content and the unique supporting materials. I would certainly adopt the [Nechyba] text. In fact there is a good argument to be made that it is an ideal text for my course . . . I like the emphasis on 'basic theory' and the clear exposition thereof.
