An expanded array of color photographs, diagrams, and other visual aids provide new perspectives on global environmental and resource issues.The book covers topics including:Efficiency and Cost-Benefit AnalysisNatural Resource ManagementGlobalization Environmental EthicsPopulation Growth and PovertyThis fascinating textbook will be invaluable to students undertaking courses in environmental economics, ecological economics, and environmental and resource economics. The book includes an online Instructor's Guide with answers to all the practice problems as well as downloadable slides of figures and tables from the book.
