My teaching load here is mostly economics and AP economics. It is a senior-level class in a public high school in Oregon. My students are motivated and have been working hard; however, economics textbooks don't make for the most exciting reading. My students are trying to learn some difficult topics at the AP (introductory college) level while living the schedules of involved high school students. I want to reward the efforts of my students and help to foster their natural curiosities by supplementing their text with a recent book, "Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science", about economics that is filled with current, relevant, and interesting applications to the theories that we've been struggling with. I envision setting aside time each couple of weeks for the students and myself to meet in small groups in the book club model to discuss portions of the book as we read it. Your help will allow my students to view economics as a much more interesting and rich discipline than the textbooks provide for. My students need 55 copies of the book Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science to supplement our dry textbook. HIDEMr. T. sent this note after the project was fully funded: Jan 29, 2008
