Customer Reviews
Review Summary: Excellent Introduction to EE concepts
Date: 2006-01-21
Details: Tietenberg is a big player in evironmental economics, and clearly lays out the fundamentals of environmental and natural resources economics accessible to those without significant economics training.
Review Summary: Out of Date
Date: 2004-04-27
Details: The book is hopelessly out of date. Although it carries a 2003 publication date, it still refers to the USSR and Czechoslovakia in the present tense. It consistently refers to studies done in the 1980s as recent and less than 25% of the examples, charts. etc. use data from 1990 or later. For example, only 5 out of 37 references in the chapter on Economic Justice are more recent than 1990, and the most recent is 1994. This is typical of just about every chapter. One gets the feeling that the publisher never reviewed this revided edition.
Review Summary: Good for Graduate School
Date: 2001-06-05
Details: I used this book for graduate school. Its a textbook and little more. But, it is a well written textbook.
