Review
‘This book is a good step towards developing a detailed curriculum for environmental economics at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.’
—Down to Earth
‘Written by university faculty and meant as a textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students, the book is also of interest to general readers. It argues that, contrary to the notion that developing countries can afford to ignore the environment, they face the most acute problems of environmental degradation.’
—The Statesman
