This book is the premier introductory environmental economics text for non-majors. Key chapters are extracted from the author's longer book, Environmental and Natural Resource Economics , the best-selling text in the field. This compact text provides a concise introduction to economic theory, then moves on to policy-based chapters. Each policy chapter discusses relevant environmental and political background, and then applies the critical economic concepts to real-world examples. By including both basic theory and in-depth, issues-based applications, this book is ideal for a wide range of courses in environmental and natural resource economics.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Accessible book but out of date,
By Economics Professor (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Environmental Economics and Policy (4th Edition) (Addison-Wesley Series in Economics) (Paperback)
This book's strength is that it covers many important topics in an accessible fashion. However, the 2004 copyright date is very misleading. Many parts of the text, examples, and references were current as of 1980, i.e., before the birth of most students who are using the book! The many precise dollar amounts of costs and benefits rarely indicate whether the reference is to, say, 1975 dollars or 1992 dollars. Throughout the book are phrases like "recently" and "now" that actually refer to developments decades ago.
The author is a respected scholar in the field. In my view he should be embarrassed to supply a "new" edition as hopelessly dated as this one. Readers can save money by buying a used copy of an older edition--they won't be missing much.

This review is from: Environmental Economics and Policy (5th Edition) (Paperback)
I bought it for school, and it was better than listening to my teacher, but it doesn't tell you what pages key words are found on and some of the information is very spaced out and hard to follow

two thumbs up for this seller,
By bngmgt (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Environmental Economics and Policy (4th Edition) (Addison-Wesley Series in Economics) (Paperback)
this was a really good experience.... stress free purchase. I ordered on a Wednesday, and it arrived on a Friday, provided that I did order from an IN-State seller. there was no damage to the item; and the price of a new one was better than the used prices. I'm just happy I got such a good deal.
