Industry Reviews

"'The profound contribution of this book is that we find in one place the economic concepts and policy dilemmas pertinent to land-use and to environmental quality. These two aspects are usually treated separately and doing so induces the student to imagine that the way land and forests are used bears no relation to what happens in the water and in the atmosphere. Happily, the integrated approach here shows the importance of these interactions. The book is comprehensive, well written and nicely organized.' - Daniel W. Bromley, University of Wisconsin, Madison, US"
