‘ . . . by including a vast number of papers that are generally reflective of the historical and the current state of the subject, the editors have – for the most part – succeeded in providing a useful reference on the development of ecological economics. The acquisition of this book is likely to benefit libraries and active researchers in ecological economics the most.’
– Amitrajeet A. Batabyal, Kyklos
This major authoritative collection prepared by leading figures from North America and Europe presents a careful selection of the most important published articles and papers on ecology and economics.
Ecology and economics have developed as separate disciplines throughout their recent histories in the twentieth century. A signal contribution of this important collection is that it brings these different traditions together and successfully integrates the natural and social sciences in a volume that will be indispensable to anyone interested in ecological economics.
