NATURE IN THE BALANCE: THE ECONOMICS OF DIVERSITY

by Dieter Helm; Cameron Hepburn

Published by Oxford University Press. 1st. 2014

Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. This book sets out the building blocks of an economic approach to biodiversity, and in particular brings together conceptual and empirical work on valuation, international agreements, the policy instruments, and the institutions. The objective is to provide a comprehensive overview of the issues and evidence, and to suggest how this very urgent problem should be addressed. Edited by Helm & Hepburn. Navy blue boards, gilt title to spine. xx and 416 pages including index.

A lovely copy.
