Reviews

A good book for a graduate student text, and excellent for reference! --Loren Parks, California State University Very good coverage of agricultural resource economics. Remarkable how the text reads as if a single author wrote the entire text. Job well done! --Bruce Lindsay, University of New Hampshire A much needed book for an increasingly important area. The text bridges theory with application and will be an important reference for those developing policy analysis. --Jerome Siebert, University of California-Berkeley An excellent collection of articles on Environmental Resource Economics relating to agriculture. It would be good for a senior or graduate course in Resource Economic, Environmental Economics or Economic Development. --N. Omri Rawlins, Middle Tennessee State University Excellent book! Will use as reference for research and teaching. --C.R. Shumuray, Texas A&M University Written by fourteen outstanding authors with practical and scientific experiences in resource economics. Topics are presented in a logical sequence built around key concepts and models. This text will make a positive contribution to the profession. --Edwin Lamberth, Tennessee Technological University This book will be most useful as a source of material on environmental and resource economics in the classroom and as a textbook for beginning graduate students. In essence, the book can be highly recommended to all policy analysts, researchers, and practitioners interested in agricultural resource economics irrespective of their background knowledge in this field. --European Review of Agricultural Economics I like it! --Lydia Zepeda, University of Wisconsin

This book will be most useful as a source of material on environmental and resource economics in the classroom and as a textbook for beginning graduate students ... the book can be highly recommended to all policy analysts, researchers and practitioners interested in agricultural resource economics irrespective of their background knowledge in this field. European Review of Agricultural Economics This is a text that should be attractive to a wide audience from the undergraduate student to the post-doctoral researcher and policy-maker ... Carlson, Zilberman and Miranowski bring a wealth of expertise to the agricultural and environmental resource economics field, and this text is undoubtedly amongst the best currently available in this subject area. Students looking to build on the fundamentals of environmental and resource economics gained from less detailed texts, could do far worse than to start here. Environmental Politics
