Lucas Bernard is Professor of Business at The City University of New York, College of Technology.Willi Semmler is Henry Arnhold Professor of Economics at The New School for Social Research.

Many of the chapters are thought provoking; hence readers will enjoy the excellent discussions they provide on topics as diverse as spatial energy balance climate models and the nexuses between the Kyoto Protocol and carbon leakage into China.
