'Most of the papers are relatively straightforward and offer an easy access to the various topics. Nevertheless, the essays are not restricted to a review of the standard literature, but cover a wide range of ideas and concepts. Thus the book might indeed provide new insights also to those readers who are familiar with the main topics within environmental economics. To summarise: the volume is an interesting and informative read for all those who are looking for a brief but competent overview on a number of current issues in environmental economics.'
