Reviews
'Why is it so difficult to protect the environment? This book reflects on the historical, physical, and social complexity of the task from the point of view of an economist while remaining accessible to a non-specialist. The depth and breadth of the author's knowledge have enriched every chapter of this book. The novel views especially on the historical origins of environmental issues and social embeddedness and consumer sovereignty treat the reader to refreshing perspectives beyond those of normal economics.' -- Tooraj Jamasb, Durham University, UK
'The work is well illustrated and very informative. It would be an appropriate text for upper division and graduate courses considering economics, public policy, and the environment. It would be a welcome addition to the library of scholars working in this field and -- would be an appropriate acquisition for most college and university libraries.'- Michael L.
