Recenzje

'… [an] exceptional, outstandingly useful guide to climate change policies … The first part of the book is brilliant and witty. Later discussion evolves into careful analysis, including complexities that make greater demands on the reader, drawing substantively on Dorman's native economic expertise … Highly recommended.' F. T. Manheim, Choice
