This inexpensive, paperback survey text assumes no economics prerequisites. Environmental An Introduction includes the necessary economic concepts (at a principles level) to use effectively provide students with a solid foundation. Focused, technically accurate, and carefully written, this text provides a balance between theory and policy, with particular emphasis on U.S. and global environmental policy options.
Field and Field's Environmental Economics: An Introduction was essential to my understanding of environmental economics. The book perfectly complements lecture material and is an invaluable resource for anyone exploring how environmental policies can be effectively integrated into market systems.
My professor suggested this to me at the beginning of my Econ course when I told him I had difficulty following the class. It turned out to be a very essential book in shaping my academic year studying Econ, highly recommended!
