The second edition of the popular RFF Reader brings together much
of the best work published by researchers at Resources for the
Future.
Many articles in the Reader were originally published in RFF's
quarterly magazine, Resources. Wally Oates has supplemented that
with material drawn from other RFF works, including issue briefs
and special reports. The readings provide concise, insightful
background and perspectives on a broad range of environmental
issues including benefit-cost analysis, environmental regulation,
hazardous and toxic waste, environmental equity, and the
environmental challenges in developing nations and transitional
economies. Natural-resource topics include resource management,
biodiversity, and sustainable agriculture. The articles address
many of today's most difficult public policy questions, such as
environmental policy and economic growth, and "When is a Life Too
Costly to Save?" New to the second edition is an expanded set of
readings on global climate change and sustainability, plus
cutting-edge policy applications on topics like the environment and
public health and the growing problem of antibiotic and pesticide
resistance.
For general readers, the RFF Reader has been an accessible,
nontechnical, authoritative introduction to key issues in
environmental and natural resources policy. It has been especially
effective in demonstrating the contribution that economics and
other social science research can make toward improving public
debate and decisionmaking. Organized to follow the contents of
popular textbooks in environmental economics and politics, it has
also found wide use in beginning environmental policy courses.
