Review:

`An excellent source of reference for researchers and practitioners in ecological economics, human ecology, industrial ecology and environmental sciences, this publication will help its readers keep abreast of major recent developments in the field.' -- The Environmentalist `These volumes present a thorough and wide-ranging survey of the recent literature in ecological economics. They should serve as a valuable reference collection and as an excellent foundation for graduate seminars. They illustrate how ecological economics have converged and coalesced as a field.' -- Richard B. Howarth, Dartmouth College, US `By far the most complete and judiciously selected collection of recent contributions to ecological economics now available. Indispensable.' -- Herman E. Daly, University of Maryland, US
