Environmental Economics, an Introduction, 2nd, Second Edition

by Barry C. Field

Designed as an introduction to a fast-growing area of economics for economists and non-specialists, this new environmental economics survey text requires no prerequisites and includes the necessary economic concepts (at a principles level) to use the book effectively. Field presents a focused, technically accurate, and carefully illustrated survey of environmental economics devoted to the issues and policy choices facing not only the US, but also those of global importance, with four full chapters dedicated to international coverage. There are comprehensive learning aids including brief summaries, questions for further discussion, and news clippings relating the text to current real world concerns. A complete instructor's manual includes course organising schemes and for every chapter, a list of objectives, an outline of main topics, a full topic discussion, and answers to all end-of-chapter questions.

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!
