Editorial Reviews

Review

Its lucid style should gain an appreciative audience and its coverage will provide the reader with firm foundation in economic reasoning and analytical ability in environmental and natural resource issues ... should appeal to undergraduates across a wide range of disciplines, not only in economics and environmental science, but also in countryside management, town planning and related courses - Journal of Environmental Planning and Management; A refreshing aspect of Kula's coverage of the economics of natural resources and the environment is his integration of current policy with formal theory, which draws theory alongside the practical issues and problems of resource use. To do this successfully and maintain the manageability of the volume is obviously a difficult objective, yet is one at which he more or less succeeds. - Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design; ...provides an in-depth and well balanced coverage of its subject matter - Biodiversity and Conservation; This is a much expanded and comprehensively updated second edition of what has deservedly become a very popular text...[it is] an excellent book - The Journal of Energy Literature; The work is aimed at final year undergraduates in a wide range of disciplines, not just economics and environmental science. It provides information, analysses, projections and theories which are relevant to the work of economists, environmental scientists, development studies experts, agriculture and fisheries scientists, town and country planners and managers in the mining and petroleum industries. - IMM Abstracts; This is a fully updated and much expanded edition of the important and well received book Economics of Natural Resources and the Environment....deserves a readership beyond that of students...Recommended reading. - Environmental Policy and Planning
