What some professors have to say:
Professor Herman Daly, School of Public Policy, University of Maryland:
"Just a short note of appreciation for your fine textbook, "Environmental and Natural Resources
Economics" 2nd ed. I just finished reading it, and will use it as one of several books in my seminar
this fall at Univ. of MD. It is an admirable combination of scholarship, honesty, good judgement, and
pedagogical skill."
Professor Thomas Lyon, Dow Chair of Sustainable Science,
Technology and Commerce, Ross School of Business and School of Natural Resources, University of Michigan:
“This book provides a wonderful introduction to the economics of sustainability, along with excellent coverage of
more traditional environmental and natural resources economics. It is both deep and broad,
presenting the fundamental philosophical and ethical questions of sustainability in provocative
fashion, along with the many important practical and political challenges of this growing field.
The perspective throughout is that of someone who both cares and thinks deeply about the issues.”
Professor Michal Moore, Senior Fellow, Institute for Sustainable Energy, Environment and Economy,
University of Calgary:
“This textbook offers the philosophy, history, rationale and techniques that bring important concepts from the discipline
of economics to bear on some of the most intransigent issues of our time.
I have used an earlier version of this textbook for pure economics courses as well as those which originate in a
department more closely aligned with government policy or resource management. This textbook is supple enough to span that
range, and to offer something else so rare in classes and textbooks today - clarity and vision that makes students
want to read on to find out what happens in the end. This text is a cornerstone in the movement to
cross boundaries that have developed as disciplines like engineering, economics and planning were maturing.”

Professor Dawn Parker, Departments of Geography and
Environmental Science and Policy, Center for Social Complexity, George Mason University:
“I’m going to be using your textbook for an introduction to environmental and resource economics for non-economist
grad students…. I reviewed a lot of books, but your seems to fit the bill the best…. Yours is also one of
the few texts appropriate for those without an economics background.”
