'The papers in this book are a great cross section of work going on in natural resource economics, the visible output of ongoing research programs being pursued by a talented group of economists. . . The book would be an excellent one for newcomers in the field to peruse; they will get an idea of the range of topics being addressed, and Gardner Brown's pursuit of them with creativity, care, and rigor, which are the prime legacies that he offers to the profession.'
