The Economics of Health and Health Care 7th Edition

All graphs, tables and figures are present and fully visible on the digital copy. The immediate delivery was very convenient and the book was a great overall value.

Chapters are each about 20 pages long. Well explained, just enough detail. Not overly simplified nor overly complicated. Chapter summaries helpful; and questions for deeper exploration into topics if desired.

It was easier to gather the concepts by reading original peer-reviewed articles than trying to get it from this textbook. The style is confusing and the graphs are not well explained. One might find it palatable if one has a background in economics but for those to whom the subject is new, this textbook definitely not a good starting point. And chapter 3 is a joke: its title "statistical tools for health economics" promises an explanation of econometric statistics but instead delivers a shallow introduction to basic statistical concepts. If you have taken statistics before, you will find the chapter poor. I wonder how I would have found the rest, had I taken economics before.

This book is very drawn-out and dry. If you have even a DECENT teacher, you shouldn't really need this book (although I'm sure it's required). My teacher was interested in the material and eager to teach, so I learned the material without opening the book the entire semester. I only looked at it for some of the charts he discussed in class. I have never taken an economics course before and even though I was interested in the material, I couldn't bring myself to read this awful book. That being said, if you love extremely dry reading material, this is definitely the book for you.

I liked the book It has some very interesting insights about Health Economics, but some Chapters I feel its only a literature review without adding more than a few remarks by the authors.

The book was in excellent condition, I expected it to be dog earred and it was not which makes me want to return it in the same condition.

So far all of the pages are intact; however, the binding is literally falling apart. There are several minute tears along the binding as well on the outside cover. I know it's a rental, but they need to ensure they document how it leaves the facility each and every time to ensure other renters are not held liable for how they receive the book.
