I m a Computer Science student. Recently, I took an economics course titled "International Trade". This book is the text book for our class. I found it very easy and clear to understand ( there is no doubt that you really need to have a very solid Idea about macro and micro economics before reading this kind of a book). The book is deep enough to serve as an educational media, it is no to little and not too much. I recommend this book
