Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book ventures into an area not common for ecological economics readers: business economics and management...Nine chapters from diverse authors contain these proposals through theoretical, regulatory, and case study-based environmental policy analysis, covering a wide range of activities such as genetically modified organism releases, mining, financial services, retail sales, steel and paper industries, and oil spills. Utting and Clapp have put together a timely and important piece that favors ecological economics by giving it applicability and practicality, a step in the right direction for a transdiscipline that has worked hard in developing a vast theoretical framework." -- Bernardo Aguilar-Gonzalez, The Quarterly Reivew of Biology
