4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Intro to Environ reesource economics, March 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Environmental Economics: An Introduction (Paperback)

This book holds an excewllent treatment of the range and focus of topics which fall under the environmental resource economics realm. The author addresses both the fundamentals and advanced social concepts mixed with excellent examples of the economic principles which resource managers must make during the policy process and the inherent problems these policies present. A must read for anyone interested in working in the public sector.

This review is from: Environmental Economics (Paperback)

This book is a specialized book published by McGraw-Hill for use in University of Denver's Environmental Finance and Economics class, EPM4003. It combines chapters from Foundations of Financial Management, 13th Ed., Block-Hirt-Danielsen; with chapters from Environmental Economics: An Introduction, 5th Ed., Field-Field. Makes it much easier for the class as you only need the one book. Very easy to read and understand.

This review is from: Environmental Economics (Paperback)

I needed this for my Environmental Economics class, and although the shipping took longer than it was supposed to, it works perfectly for the course. It was marked as "Acceptable", and indeed, it was. I saved about $75 buying it used here than through school. I definitely recommend others to do the same.
