The authors of this book have looked at the overall statistics, including those for countries where the elephant population is stable. They have considered the multiplicity of economic and social functions fulfilled by ensuring that elephant herds survive, tourism,...

A Global Green New Deal: Rethinking the Economic Recovery
ISBN: 9780521763097 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Meeting the short run challenges of reviving the worldwide economy need not mean sacrificing long run economic and environmental sustainability.

Capitalizing on Nature: Ecosystems as Natural Assets
ISBN: 9780521189279 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The basic unit of nature the ecosystem is a special form of wealth, which we can think of as a stock of natural capital. However, perhaps because this capital is free, we have tended to view it as limitless, abundant and always available for our use, exploitation and conversion. Capitalizing on Nature shows how modeling ecosystems as natural capital can help us to analyze the economic behavior that has led to the overuse of so much ecological wealth. It explains how this concept of ecosystem as natural capital sheds light on a number of important issues, including landscape conversion,...

Economics and Ecology: New Frontiers and Sustainable Development
ISBN: 9780412481802 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 205 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In the Summer of 1991, Bob Carling, who was then Life Sciences Editor of Chapman & Hall, approached me over the possibility of producing an edited volume of works on economics and ecology. As we discussed the matter further, what became clear is that there is a growing literature on the' frontiers' of both disciplines that has involved economists 'borrowing' from ecology and ecologists 'borrowing' from economics. We decided that this volume should try to provide a small cross-section of that literature. I was very much interested in editing this volume for several reasons. First, one of my...
