Product Description

Ecological economics addresses one of the fundamental flaws in conventional economics-its failure to consider biophysical and social reality in its analyses and equations. Ecological Economics: Principles and Applications is an introductory-level textbook that offers a pedagogically complete examination of this dynamic new field. As a workbook accompanying the text, this volume breaks new ground in applying the principles of ecological economics in a problem- or service-based learning setting. Both the textbook and this workbook are situated within a new interdisciplinary framework that embraces the linkages among economic growth, environmental degradation, and social inequity in an effort to guide policy in a way that respects fundamental human values. The workbook takes the approach a step further in placing ecological economic analysis within a systems perspective, in order to help students identify leverage points by which they can help to effect change. The workbook helps students to develop a practical, operational understanding of the principles and concepts explored in the text through real-world activities, and describes numerous case studies

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, easy to understand resource, Jan 12 2011

By chelsea "chels" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Ecological Economics: A Workbook For Problem-Based Learning (Paperback)

This book is really down to earth and offers practical insight with easy-to-understand examples/explanations. I needed this for class but still have mine just as a reference source.
