PRINCIPLES OF ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS

Can economic growth be environmentally sustainable? This crucial question goes right to the heart of environmental economics and is a matter of increasing concern globally.

The first edition of this popular title was the first introductory textbook in environmental economics that truly attempted to integrate economics with not only the environment but also ecology. This new version builds and improves upon the popular formula with new material, new examples, new pedagogical features and new questions for discussion.

With international case-studies and examples, this book will prove an excellent choice for introducing both students and other academics to the world of environmental economics.

ECOLOGY AND CONTROL OF INTRODUCED PLANTS

This book focuses on introduced plant species: where they come from, their impacts on native vegetation and ecosystems and the potential for their control. Invasive plants are a cause of increasing concern, and a lot of effort has been put into removing and controlling unwanted organisms. This book is aimed at advanced students and land managers, with an interest in plant invaders, plant communitites, and biodiversity. It contains practical explanations, case studies and an introduction to basic techniques for evaluating the impacts of invasive plants.
