In a rapidly changing policy and scientific context, this new edition of \u003ci\u003eEnvironmental and Natural Resource Economics\u003c\/i\u003e reflects an updated perspective on modern environmental topics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow in its fifth edition, this textbook includes enhanced and updated material on energy, climate change, greening the economy, population, agriculture, forests and water - reflecting the greater urgency required to solve the big environmental problems in these areas. It introduces students to both standard environmental economics and the broader perspective of ecological economics, balancing analytical techniques of environmental economics topics with a global perspective on current ecological issues such as population growth, global climate change and \"green\" national income accounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarris and Roach's premise is that a pluralistic approach is essential to understand the complex nexus between the economy and the environment. This perspective, combined with its emphasis on real-world policies, is particularly appealing to both instructors and students. This is the ideal text for undergraduate classes on environmental, natural resource and ecological economics, and postgraduate courses on environmental and economic policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe companion website features PowerPoint materials and extended, chapter specific discussion points.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56287840829813,"sku":"9780367634858","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780367634858_a72b1048-db8c-4663-a155-911b74a0e954.jpg?v=1786013643"},{"product_id":"9781032170374","title":"Macroeconomics in Context","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMacroeconomics in Context\u003c\/em\u003e lays out the principles of macroeconomics in a manner that is thorough, up to date, and relevant to students.
