Environmental Economics for Non-Economists

With the rise in the significance of environmental issues, many professionals and students outside the discipline of economics have taken an interest in environmental economics. However, there are few publications that cater for this type of reader. The invaluable textbook is targeted at a broad range of disciplines, including engineering, business, forestry and agriculture. The following characteristics set the book apart from others: it does not assume a previous knowledge of economics; it deals with global environmental problems, with emphasis on Third World environmental issues; it includes material on the emerging discipline of ecological economics; and it incorporates simple spreadsheet-based examples and exercises to reinforce the concepts taught.
