Reviews for Environmental Economics and Natural Resource Management

“This book provides a nice backdrop to the material I choose to present in lectures. It also provides a nice roadmap for choosing which topics to cover and when to cover them. It is well-written and well-researched. Highly recommended.” Arthur J. Caplan, Utah State University, USA “I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy using this text in my environmental economics class. The book works very well for my students, who are a mix of economics and environmental science majors. The material is accessible enough for the non-majors yet challenging enough for the majors. I also appreciate the way the author addresses the normative issues central to environmental economics using the framework of economic analysis.” Margaret A. Ray, Instructional Associate Professor, Department of Economics, Texas A&M University, USA “Anderson’s book is just enough of a challenge for my students as it does not overwhelm them with models or policy prescriptions. Instead, this book treats environmental economics as an interdisciplinary endeavor which makes it a perfect fit for my community college students.” Paul Briggs, Professor (Economics), Windward Community College, USA
