On the whole, it is a blend of theoretical and empirical ideas, thus making the volume a useful reference for researchers interested in the various dimensions of natural resource accounting - and aspect of great relevance for the developing economies. This reviewer wholeheartedly recommends the book; the editors and authors of the chapters deserve credit for making a valuable contribution to the area of natural resource accounting.' -- Varinder Jain, The Journal of Energy and Development
