Environmental And Natural Resource Economics: A Contemporay Approach.

by Jonathan M. Harris

Environmental and Natural Resource Economics engages students in standard economic theory through the lens of environmental issues such as global climate change and overpopulation. This broad, balanced approach combines traditional microeconomic analysis with a detailed examination of macro-level ecological problems that require local, national, and global policy solutions. The Second Edition includes new appendices, updated case studies, and the inclusion of current economic data. Numerous examples, graphs, key terms, and end-of-chapter questions help students review and assimilate core concepts.

Logging this because I read it cover to cover for class, and it should count ;) But seriously, for an econ book, they authors did a great job of demonstrating theories through real-world cases and practice, and made the content clear and easy to retain. One of the best textbooks I've read for school.

The book is ok but I don’t find it has enough detail or explanation to be a good text for students.Example: figure 12-11 shows a double axis graph of recycling but doesn’t describe the graph as a company moves from 0 to 100% recycled materials.

Overall it seems more interested in covering and mentioning everything at a more superficial level than I am looking for.
