Frontiers in Ecological Economics presents some of Robert
Costanza's most important work on understanding ecological and
economic systems. A signal contribution of Costanza's work is that
he transcends disciplinary boundaries by collaborating closely with
other specialists and thereby constructs an integrated analysis of
the interaction between humans and the rest of the natural
world.The book is divided into four parts; part one discusses the
creation of an ecological economics, the second part considers
material and energy flows in ecological and economic systems, part
three surveys dynamic ecological and economic systems modelling and
analysis and the final part explores the role of institutions and
incentives in environmental protection. Main themes and issues
include: environmental sustainability, managing environmental
systems, energy and economic valuation in environmental systems and
a concern for both the necessity and limitations of modelling
ecological economic systems. The book improves access to Robert
Costanza's work which has made a fundamental contribution to the
development of ecological economics.
