Biotechnology, agriculture and the developing world :
Swanson, Timothy M. (Edt)
Biotechnology, agriculture and the developing world : the distributional implications of technological change / edited by Timothy Swanson. - Northampton, MA : Edward Elgar Pub., 2002. - ix, 281p:. ill.; 24cm.
Includes bibliographical references.
The book tackles the problem of environmental degradation from a rather specific viewpoint- that of the social and institutional problems that are seen as its underlying causes. Unlike many edited volumes, this one is more than a collection of essays. Its seven chapters, written by six different authors, develop a thematic focus into well-structured book. The volume contains plenty of useful, up-to-date material for an intermediate course on environmental and natural resource economics. Besides being a potential supplementary text for students, its pragmatic and applied focus should also make it interesting to policymakers concerned with environmental issues.
