520			_aThe subject of environmental economics is at the forefront of the green debate: the environment can no longer be viewed as an entity separate from the economy. This major new text analyses contemporary environmental issues from the point of view of economics effects and their consequences for human wellbeing. Environmental Economics introduces the student and the interested non-specialist alike to environmental problems and their economic impacts. This book assesses the economic importance of environmental degradation, analyses the economic causes of degradation and points to the design of economic incentives to slow, halt, or reverse that degradation.
