Sustainable development, climate policy, biodiversity conservation - all these represent flash points at the intersection of environmental science, economics, and public policy. This volume offers a snapshot of environmental economic research on a range of policy-relevant problems. Academic contributions are complemented by the views of policy makers on environmental policy priorities, the usefulness of academic research for decision making, and the future of applied research.

The Quiet Evolution refers to the profusion of American planning reform literature and practices dealing with local land-use control. As such, this work will be of paramount interest to planning students and practitioners, urban sociologists, political scientists, and georgraphers. Contributing to a new and exciting resurgence of critical social theory that examines popular attention to environmental quality, defense of residential districts, and other consumption issues, "The Quiet Evolution" will prove useful to social theorists in the field of sociology, geography, political science,...

Major changes have occurred in both the composition of energy supply and the choice of technology, especially in activities in which energy intensity has a significant bearing on the costs and competitiveness of goods and services. Presented here, in the context of these changes, are case studies on the macroeconomic evaluation of ethylalcohol programs and the microeconomic evaluation of technologies for irrigation pumping. "Environment and Resource Conservation"

During the last decade, a large volume of literature has addressed the two major policy issues concerning energy programs in...

This third volume in the "Environmental Regeneration Series," sponsored by the Rene Dubos Center, brings together original work by distinguished scholars and policy makers on the management of the nation's land resources. As the editors note at the outset, almost all questions of environmental quality or resource use ultimately focus upon the land. And, they argue, because most food and energy production, toxic waste storage, resource use, and other activities take place on privately owned land, socially responsible resource-related tradeoffs and good stewardship are at least as important...
