Reviews

'It is valuable reading for understanding emissions trading, and helps the reader visualize trading as a useful tool to control greenhouse gases.' -- Hyo-Sun Kim, Resources Policy 'This book makes a valuable contribution to the existing literature by bringing together a set of essays that reflect on US experience and examine attempts to introduce trading programs in Europe... The book is accessible to the broad readership for which it is intended. Academics as well as policymakers will find this book worthwhile reading.' -- Robert N. Stavins, Environment 'The strength of Sorrell and Skea's analysis comes from the wide selection of topics covered by the papers, all adding valuable - often forgotten - experience... I believe this book to be an excellent addition to the library of anyone who is involved in climate change. It raises awareness of previous experience, both successes and failures, particularly from within Europe, from which lessons should be drawn.' -- Christiaan Vrolijk, International Affairs 'Pollution for Sale is a useful reference book for those with an interest in climate change and acidification issues and the potential contribution of economic instruments to effective environmental policy making. Each chapter is accessible to the non-specialist and there is enough academic rigour and further references to keep the specialists satisfied. Pollution for Sale deserves to sell well and widely to academics, students, environmental consultants and policymakers.' -- Rosalind Bark, Journal of Energy Literature
