These principles are further developed in chapters devoted to specific resources. Moreover, this up-to-date volume addresses the challenge of achieving socially beneficial utilization rates in the twenty-first century amid continuing population growth, urbanization, and global climate change.
Topics new to the Third Edition include:
• implications of climate change on resources

• forests and carbon
• international water issues

"Field presents all of the important topics and issues related to natural resource use, as well as a nice balance of theoretical principles and policy analysis." --Paul M. Comolli, University of Kansas
