'A brilliant synthesis of ecology and economics that provides a
sure guide to a sustainable future. It is a must for all
environmentalists and economists.'Charles Birch'Written by an
impressive list of experts across a number of disciplines, this
readable text provides not only analysis but vigorous criticism-and
answers.'Robyn Williams'This book is such a useful guide to
responsible decision-making that it should be supplied in bulk to
senior government officials and managers in the private sector.'Ian
Lowe'This is a fine contribution to ecological economics coming
from Australia, and of interest worldwide.'Herman E DalyHuman
well-being is wholly dependent upon the continued good health of
the Earth s ecosystems. Human behaviour as it interacts with the
biophysical environment is enormously complex, as governments (and
individuals) who must make decisions about resource use are
becoming increasingly aware. Human Ecology, Human Economy provides
the basic concepts and tools for understanding how to analyse that
interaction.The book is designed to be used as a text for
undergraduate and graduate students in environmental studies, human
and social ecology, ecological economics, futures studies, and
science and technology studies. It is also intended for interested
members of the public and for policy-makers working on
environmental issues, especially where these intersect with
economic policy.Human Ecology, Human Economy not only covers the
basic concepts, but also moves to some of the frontiers of thinking
in several case studies. It uses a problem and solution oriented
approach which crosses disciplinary boundaries, drawing together
elements from biology, economics, philosophy and political
science.Professor Mark Diesendorf is Director of the Institute for
Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology, Sydney and
Vice President of the Sustainable Energy Industries Council of
Australia. Among the books he has edited are The Magic Bullet and
Energy And People.Dr Clive Hamilton is Executive Director of the
Australia Institute, Canberra and teaches in the Public Policy
Program at the Australian National University. His books include
Capitalist Industrialisation In Korea, The Mystic Economist and The
Economic Dynamics Of Australian Industry.
