Environmental issues are of fundamental importance, and a broad
approach to understanding the relationship between the human
economy and the natural world is essential. In a rapidly changing
policy and scientific context, this new edition of Environmental
and Natural Resource Economics reflects an updated perspective on
modern environmental topics. Now in its fifth edition, this
textbook includes enhanced and updated material on energy, climate
change, greening the economy, population, agriculture, forests and
water – reflecting the greater urgency required to solve the big
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 topics with a global perspective on current
ecological issues such as population growth, global climate change
and "green" national income accounting. 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 its emphasis on real-world policies, is
particularly appealing to both instructors and students. This is
the ideal text for undergraduate classes on environmental, natural
resource and ecological economics, and postgraduate courses on
environmental and economic policy. The companion website features
PowerPoint materials and extended, chapter specific discussion
points.
The study of economics should not be highly abstract, but closely
related to real-world events. Principles of Economics in Context
addresses this challenge, laying out the principles of micro-and
macroeconomics in a manner that is thorough, up to date and
relevant to students, keeping theoretical exposition close to
experience. Emphasizing writing that is compelling, clear, and
attractive to students, it addresses such critical concerns as
ecological sustainability, distributional equity, the quality of
employment, and the adequacy of living standards. Key features
include: Clear explanation of basic concepts and analytical tools,
with Discussion Questions at the end of each section, encouraging
immediate review of what has been read and relating the material to
the students' own experience; Full complement of instructor and
student support materials online, including test banks and grading
through Canvas; Key terms highlighted in boldface throughout the
text, and important ideas and definitions set off from the main
text; A glossary at the end of the book containing all key terms,
their definitions, and the number of the chapter(s) in which each
was first used and defined. Updates for the second edition include:
Expanded coverage of topics including inequality, financialization
and debt issues, the changing nature of jobs, and sustainable
development; New material on wage discrimination by race and
gender; an expanded section on labor markets and immigration;
Updated discussion of fiscal policy to include more recent
developments such as the Trump tax cuts; New material on behavioral
economics, public goods, and climate change policy; a new section
on "The Economics of Renewable Energy." This new, affordable
edition combines the just-released new editions of Microeconomics
in Context and Macroeconomics in Context to provide an integrated
full-year text covering all aspects of both micro-and
macro-analysis and application, with many up-to-date examples and
extensive supporting Web resources for instructors and students.

Macroeconomics in Context: A European Perspective lays out the
principles of macroeconomics in a manner that is thorough, up to
date, and relevant to students. With a clear presentation of
economic theory throughout, this latest addition to the bestselling
"In Context" set of textbooks is written with a specific focus on
European data, institutions, and historical events, offering
engaging treatment of high-interest topics, including
sustainability, Brexit, the euro crisis, and rising inequality.
Policy issues are presented in context (historical, institutional,
social, political, and ethical), and always with reference to human
well-being. This book is divided into four parts, covering the
following key issues: The context of economic analysis, including
basic macroeconomic statistics and tools; The basics of
macroeconomic measurements, including GDP, inflation, and
unemployment, as well as alternative measures of well-being, and
the particular structures of the European economies; Methods for
analyzing monetary and fiscal policy, including an in-depth
coverage of the instruments and approaches of the European central
bank and some coverage of an open economy; The application of the
tools learnt to selected macroeconomic issues, such as the euro
crisis, the global financial crisis, public debt, global
development, and environmental sustainability. Far more than any
other existing macroeconomic textbook, this book combines
real-world relevance of the topics covered with a strong focus on
European institutions and structures within an approach that
explains multiple economic paradigms. This combination helps to
raise students' interest in macroeconomics as well as enhance their
understanding of the power and limitation of macroeconomic
analysis. Visit
