Now in its sixth edition, this textbook includes enhanced and updated material on energy, climate change, population, agriculture, forests, and water, reflecting the greater urgency required to solve global, regional, and local environmental problems in these areas. It introduces students to both standard environmental economics and the broader perspective of ecological economics, balancing analytical techniques of environmental economics with a global perspective on current ecological issues such as global climate change, ocean degradation, plastic pollution, water shortages, and other environmental challenges.
Harris and Roach's premise is that a pluralistic approach is essential to understand the complex nexus between the economy and the environment. This perspective, combined with an emphasis on real-world policies, is particularly appealing to both instructors and students. Environmental and Natural Resource Economics is the ideal text for undergraduate classes on environmental, natural resource, and ecological economics, and other courses on environmental policy.

"The book is simply great! It fills an important need in the field - integrating standard environmental economics and ecological economics. It is very clear, informative and flows very well. The students like it. The additional materials that come with the book are also very good."-Rafael Reuveny, Professor, School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University, US.
"This is a carefully crafted textbook that should appeal to students from natural sciences as well as economics and other social sciences. The tone is formal yet friendly. The layout of text, tables, and figures is top notch. It should prove popular with students and instructors alike."
-Gerald Shively, Professor, Purdue University, US.
"The perfect introductory text covering environmental and natural resource economics. It is very clear and uncluttered, with excellent diagrams and examples, and well thought out discussion questions and problems. The choice and sequence of topics is excellent, with the right balance between the neoclassical and ecological approaches."
-Steven Kemp, Professor, Curtin University, Australia.
