Environmental and Natural Resource Economics takes a policy-oriented approach, introducing economic theory in the context of debates and empirical work from the field. Readers will gain a global perspective of both environmental and natural resource economics.
This is an economics book, but it goes beyond economics. Insights from the natural and physical sciences, literature, political science, and other disciplines are scattered liberally throughout the text. In some cases these references raise outstanding issues that economic analysis can help resolve, while in other cases they affect the structure of the economic analysis or provide a contrasting point of view. They play an important role in overcoming the tendency to accept the material uncritically at a superficial level by highlighting those characteristics that
make the economics approach unique.
Intertemporal optimization is introduced using graphical two-period models, and all mathematics, other than simple algebra, are relegated to chapter appendixes. Graphs and numerical examples provide an intuitive understanding of the principles suggested by the math and the reasons for their validity. In the ninth edition, we have retained the strengths that are particularly valued by readers, while expanding the number of applications of economic principles, clarifying some of
the more difficult arguments, and updating the material to include the very latest global developments.
Reflecting this new role of environmental economics in policy, a number of jouals are now devoted either exclusively or mostly to the topics covered in this book. One joual, Ecological Economics, is dedicated to bringing economists and ecologists closer together in a common search for appropriate solutions for environmental challenges. Interested readers can also find advanced work in the field in Land Economics, Joual of Environmental Economics and Management, Environmental and Resource Economics, Inteational Review of Environmental and National Resource Economics, Environment and Development Economics Resource and Energy Economics, and Natural Resources Joual, among others.
Original research on topics related to
inteational environmental and natural resource issues was formerly very difficult for students because of the paucity of data. A number of good sources now exist, including World Resources.
A few Inteet sources are included because they are closely related to the focus of environmental and natural resource economics. Two discussion lists that involve material covered by this book are ResEcon and EcolEcon. The former is an academically inclined list focusing on problems related to natural resource management; the latter is a wider-ranging discussion list dealing with sustainable development.

Earthscan, UK and USA, 2008. ISBN 978-1-84407-462-4. P. 201. In his 1865 work The Coal Question, William Stanley Jevons (1835–1882) expressed the concern that Britain would lose its economic dynamism and preeminence in the world due to an inevitable depletion of its reserves of easily mined coal. Of course he did not foresee the dominance of petroleum, even denying its likelihood, and so the central worry of the book turned out to be misplaced. B...
