including various branches of economics, ecology, physics, systems
analysis and the study of technology. In his succinct Advanced
Introduction to Ecological Economics, Matthias Ruth shows how each
of these lines of intellectual inquiry has contributed to the
development of ecological economics. He covers its history, main
findings and current issues closing with a valuable discussion of
complexity and the challenges for analysis and management in a full
world.' - Peter A. Victor, York University, Canada Any human
endeavor is shaped by, and shapes, changes in the physical and
biological environment. In this Advanced Introduction, Matthias
Ruth draws on a diverse set of theories, methods and applications
to critically assess key concepts in ecological economics.
Understanding biophysical foundations of economic growth and
development is at the core of ecological economics. The author

dependence of the economy on the environment, as a provider of
energy, materials and waste assimilation services. Key features
include:? an advanced introduction to theories, methods and
applications of ecological economics that are reflective rather
than enumerative? clarification of the differences between
traditional resource and environmental economics? valuable insights
from the Global South as well as from experiences in industrialized
countries to explore the topic in depth. Offering a unique insight
into a field that is still in its formative years of development,
this concise and accessible Advanced Introduction will greatly

science and ecological economics.
