Handbook of Environmental and Resource Economics

'This is a splendid book. . . It is the ideal book for the indolent PhD student and academic alike. For the former, with a little creative and judicious re-packaging, it will yield at least half of the literature review of any thesis; for the latter, it will provide near instant erudition in fields far removed from ones own speciality. . . Because of its encyclopaedic character, it also tells us something about our profession as a whole and how we work. . . a word of appreciation to the editor of this volume. All of the 79 articles were commissioned pieces, written by 92 authors, each reviewed by 2 anonymous reviewers, revised and re-submitted. Any reader who has edited a commissioned volume will appreciate the majesty and miraculous nature of this achievement.'
