"The Economics of the Environment and Natural Resources" provides an introduction to economic analysis that is essential for understanding key issues in environmental policy. Based on new proposals for the use of corn as fuel, wind energy, and ecotourism, Tom Tietenberg and his new co-author Lynne Lewis explain how we can apply economic science to evaluate the most pressing and interesting issues of our time.

The main features of the 8th edition include:

• A new section on land use that examines issues such as urban sprawl, the Protection Bank, and land cooperatives, the role of taxes in land use, and the specific problems faced by developing countries.
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS), an innovative tool in the research and analysis of Environmental Economics.
• The latest research and perspectives on issues such as climate change and global temperature rise, the shift to renewable energy sources, the impact on climate and national security from oil imports, carbon emissions trading, electronic waste, and price volatility in emissions trading markets.
• The reader can check their understanding of the concepts in each chapter online using the related questionnaire.
