ECON 4440: Economics of Natural Resources and Environment

Not very helpful when it comes to figuring out how to solve problems. I ended up googling and watching videos that taught me how to solve for PV and FV, etc.

Yikes! Don't look at this book unless you absolutely HAVE TO.

The subject matter is fascinating stuff, but the author makes it read like stereo instructions. I'm so glad I'm hearing the content in a class lecture, and not completely dependent on the text.
