Summary: 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.
