An especially valuable tool for those teaching this class for the first few times, and something I wish I had available when I was teaching the course. -- John Loomis, Colorado State University, USThis book is a must have for anyone teaching environmental and natural resource economics. In a dynamically evolving discipline, having a go-to source for teaching ideas and examples is invaluable. Packed with concrete examples and a variety of teaching methods (from classroom experiments to the use of policy briefs to computer modeling and more) there is something for everyone in this practical and constructive set of papers. Whether you are just starting out in the classroom or you are a seasoned professor, this volume offers a fresh set of experiences and wisdom from which we can draw. -- Lynne Lewis, Bates College, USIn one jump the editors and authors have created an essential resource for those teaching environmental economics (and frankly one which teachers of general microeconomics could benefit from greatly). Replete with the sort of detail that never usually gets disseminated, this collection provides the nitty gritty of setting up an environmental economics course accompanied by a wealth of great suggestions for encouraging learning-by-doing, making this a volume which is exemplary in both its ambition and achievement. -- Ian J.
