From the Publisher

Lively and accessible in style -- yet rigorous and comprehensive in content -- this text explores environmental economics from the perspective of four basic questions: How much pollution is too much? Is government up to the job? How can we do better? How can we resolve global issues? It examines a broad range of topics applicable to today's policy debates, and presents not only the "standard analysis," but also full-length treatments of important issues at the cutting edge of environmental policy debates that are usually ignored by other texts. Timely examples are integrated throughout.

Key Topics: It examines a broad range of topics applicable to today's policy debates and presents not only the "standard analysis" but also full-length treatments of important issues at the cutting edge of environmental policy debates that are usually ignored by other books. The Second Edition retains the three interrelated advantages of its predecessor—(1) broad content, (2) pedagogical clarity, and (3) timely, well-integrated examples—while incorporating major reorganizations, additions and updates aimed at enhancing learning and reflecting the most up-to-date information available.
