Cambridge University Press Resource Economics
Book SynopsisResource Economics is a text for students with a background in calculus and intermediate microeconomics and a familiarity with Excel. It covers basic concepts, shows how to set up spreadsheets to solve simple dynamic allocation problems, and presents economic models for fisheries, forestry, nonrenewable resources, and stock pollutants.Trade Review'Jon Conrad's second edition of Resource Economics is an articulate, well-organized presentation of key applications of intertemporal economics to problems of natural resources. More than a routine update of the first edition, it admirably balances theoretical rigor and clarity in the presentation of models, with the kinds of institutional discussions that motivate students to think about research questions.' Robert T. Deacon, University of California, Santa Barbara'This book builds on the already-excellent first edition, with its unique focus on computational solution of dynamic optimization problems, by providing a richer and more detailed discussion of theoretical models of renewable, nonrenewable, and environmental resource management along with very helpful discussion of the intuition behind the models, and applications to resource problems.' Anthony Fisher, University of California, Berkeley'Jon Conrad's Resource Economics is a unique and indeed indispensable learning resource. It teaches students to work with sophisticated mathematical models using a hands-on, intuitive approach based on the standard spreadsheet tools that are now pervasive in quantitative analysis. Conrad's book sets a standard to which other textbook authors should aspire.' Richard Howarth, Dartmouth University'Jon Conrad's second edition of Resource Economics is an elegant mathematical treatment of the many complex management issues confronting natural resource managers. The book presents dynamic modeling and optimization in a practical context. The use of Excel throughout the book gives it a concreteness that is lost in purely theoretical texts. It is an ideal advanced text covering the economics of fisheries, forestry, nonrenewable resources, and stock pollutants.' Robert Mendelsohn, Yale University'Resource Economics is an excellent choice for advanced undergraduates and master's students. The book's use of Excel's solver gives students an intuitive grasp of dynamic optimization without relying on advanced mathematics. Students analyze fisheries, forests, and fossil fuels as they learn spreadsheet programming skills that are valuable in other economics, business, and management courses.' Martin Smith, Duke University'I wish there had been a textbook such as Jon Conrad's Resource Economics available when I was a young student beginning to learn about natural resource and environmental economics. This is a rigorous but highly accessible mathematical introduction to the field that brings home to the reader the fundamental common threads, as well as the differentiating factors, among nonrenewable, renewable, and environmental resource problems.' Robert N. Stavins, Harvard UniversityTable of Contents1. Basic concepts; 2. Solving numerical allocation problems using Excel's Solver; 3. The economics of fisheries; 4. The economics of forestry; 5.

Cambridge University Press An Environmental History of Russia
Book SynopsisBased on original research and firsthand accounts, this book contains dynamic debates between party officials, scientists and citizens about how best to use the great natural and mineral resources of the USSR and the impact Soviet programs had on the empire's extensive biodiversity and numerous citizens.Trade Review'An Environmental History of Russia is the most important English-language environmental study of the former Soviet Union since Douglas Weiner's Models of Nature and A Little Corner of Freedom. Spanning geography; nature preservation; urban, industrial, and agricultural environments; and policies, practices and pollution, the book provides a broad sweep of a country's environmental heritage little known in holistic terms. This is worthwhile reading.' Martin V. Melosi, University of Houston'In this ambitious and wide-ranging book, six talented senior scholars draw on newly opened archives to trace the politics of resource extraction and environmental degradation in Russia and the Soviet Republics, from Bolshevism through the break-up of the Soviet empire. While they present an extreme example of state-led environmental degradation, the story they tell is disturbingly similar to what is still being played out around the globe. A chilling and fascinating account.' Judith Shapiro, American University and author of Mao's War against Nature (2001)'This group of scholars has tackled the enormous task of surveying the environmental history of the Soviet Union from Lenin to Gorbachev and beyond. The results are impressive and will find a wide audience, given the global historical importance of the largest communist country. Historians are bound to grapple with the authors' assertion that the Soviet Union's environmental history resembled similar developments in Western Europe and North America. This book will be a standard text for many years to come.' Thomas Zeller, University of Maryland, College Park'… provide[s] an insightful postmortem on the Soviet Union's environmental policies and practices … a well-written, comprehensive account, valuable for Russian or environmental history collections … Highly recommended. Upper division undergraduates through researchers/faculty.' Choice'… provides important new perspectives that will be of interest and use to all scholars of Russian history. It will be invaluable in particular as an introduction to Russian environmental history for a broad spectrum of readers from undergraduate students to seasoned scholars.' Brian Bonhomme, Canadian Slavonic Papers'… connoisseurs of the damage perpetrated by human folly on the natural world in the name of progress will greatly appreciate this book … A study of the Soviet Union's environmental history (most of the book covers the Soviet period) is much needed, and the authors are to be acknowledged for producing this volume.' David Moon, European History QuarterlyTable of Contents1. From imperial to socialist nature preservation: environmental protection and resource development in the Russian empire, 1861–1925; 2. Stalinism, industry, agriculture and the environment; 3. The Khrushchev reforms, environmental politics, and the awakening of environmentalism, 1953–64; 4. Developed socialism, environmental degradation and the time of economic 'stagnation', 1964–85; 5. Gorbachev's reforms, the break-up of the USSR and the environmental policies of transition; Conclusion: 6. After the break-up of the USSR: inheriting the environmental legacy.

Cambridge University Press Clean Air at What Cost
Book SynopsisHow can governments enforce urgent environmental policies that threaten key political and economic interests? This book highlights an unusual, top-down approach where the state forcibly destroys industries to reduce pollution. It examines why states use 'blunt force regulation' despite its severe social and economic consequences.Trade Review'Highly recommended' G. A. McBeath, Choice'Van Der Kamp's book should be read by all who are interested in environmental politics and the politics of policy implementation. It makes important conceptual and theoretical advances that enable us to understand how regulations are enforced in China and other states with weak institutions. The book is not only theoretically rich but is also grounded in detailed empirical analyses that expertly combine a wide range of data sources.' Matthew Amengual, Associate Professor in International Business, University of Oxford'A significant, richly researched work that offers a captivating window into Chinese public administration, Clean Air at What Cost? will interest anyone concerned about the implementation of regulatory power. What van der Kamp has uncovered shatters the perennial dichotomy between rules-based versus problem-solving enforcement, showing that there exists a third, disquieting alternative that China has followed: blunt-force enforcement. This elegantly crafted, revelatory book offers a vital warning about the potential for regulatory arbitrariness and injustice, especially in weak, unstable states.' Cary Coglianese, Edward B. Shils Professor of Law and Political Science, and Director, Penn Program on Regulation, University of Pennsylvania'Clean Air at What Cost is an excellent study on the how and with what of regulatory implementation in the decentralized and fragmented auspices of the Chinese political economy. There, 'blunt force regulation' is a sign of inefficient state capacity and questionable political will, as it is an authoritarian response to the environmental consequences associated with the country's fast-speed development. I have long waited for an empirically rigorous study on a heretofore less understood dimension of China's global economic rise.' Roselyn Hsueh, author of Micro-institutional Foundations of Capitalism (2022) and China's Regulatory State (2011)'This book is an essential read for anyone interested in environmental governance in China. Using quantitative and qualitative research methods, this book introduces the concept of blunt force regulation. It provides a much-needed update on environmental governance and offers an insightful analysis into state-society relations in China.' Genia Kostka, Professor of Chinese Politics, Freie Universität Berlin'Denise van der Kamp leads the new generation of China scholars exploring the challenging nexus of policy implementation in contemporary China. Her work on blunt force regulation in China provides an exciting new framework through to understand how policy is enforced at the local level in China.'

Cambridge University Press Sustainability Science
Book SynopsisFully updated, this second edition provides a class-tested system analysis approach to sustainability for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The latest scientific data and insights are integrated into a broad transdisciplinary framework. Readers explore sustainability issuesthrough the lenses of cultural and methodological pluralism.Trade Review'In this new edition, Bert de Vries sets the foundation of sustainability science through systems thinking. This could not be timelier as socio-ecological turbulence increasingly becomes the norm, as predicted in the Club of Rome report. Rooted in the history of civilizations and modernity, embedding ethics and worldview diversity, we are invited to explore how wellbeing, education or nature awareness may build a sustainable future, with pertinent analyses in all sectors, from forest and fisheries to water management, materials or energy. This is a mustread for all Earthlings.' Olivier Hamant, Director of the Michel-Serres Institute'Technical and accessible are generally seen as dichotomous. De Vries proves the opposite is true with this masterful introduction to the essential building blocks of sustainability science. The book goes well beyond its promise of methodological pluralism by providing mathematical, biophysical, economic, social and cultural lenses to help us understand and respond to the ecological and climate crisis.' Piotr Magnuszewski, Scientific Director, Centre for Systems Solutions, Wrocław'Sustainability science is the means by which a fractured and unequal world of 8+ billion people can map the systemic challenges of the Anthropocene, to bring together the transformational actions that will help us navigate the twenty-first century. Bert de Vries' seminal text provides us the worldviews, values and methods to chart these transitions to a better, more equal and sustainable world.' Aromar Revi, Director, IIHS Bangalore City Campus'Stewarding our planet towards a safe and just future requires nothing less than a deep scientific understanding of the functioning of our Earth system, and a truly holistic view of how nature, humanity and the physical world share a common fate. This book propagates this message in a unique way, offering scholars and students a first step towards informed agency.' Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK); Professor of Earth System Science, University of Potsdam; Chief Scientist, Conservation International'Bert de Vries reveals the secret to making the world sustainable. And no, it's not technology. It is our adoption of alternate worldviews that reflect our values and beliefs, such as individualism, collectivism, consumerism, or frugality. These shape our choices and actions for the planet, and determine whether we help or harm sustainability. This book is essential for anyone who wants to foster sustainability.' Anupam Saraph, Sustainability and Systems Leadership Mentor'Sustainability science has evolved over decades to address a fundamental challenge: the decline and collapse of socio-ecosystems driven by a political economy too narrowly defined by goals and policies of only one or a few disciplines. Bert de Vries ably succeeds in showing how to expand the range of enquiry to embrace perspectives from many disciplines, as well as from the wider world of enterprise and governance. But he further offers a unique perspective that makes this edition of his text invaluable in showing how to look below the transdisciplinary layer that defines trends, causal mechanisms and policies to see the worldviews and paradigms that generate and sustain them. Using systems science to integrate horizontally across disciplines, and vertically from trends down to mental models, offers the reader the most comprehensive set of analytical tools in the sustainability field. Essential reading.' Jan Sendzimir, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis'Sustainability Science by Bert de Vries presents a truly transdisciplinary and pluralistic approach to understanding human–environment interactions for improving and maintaining human well-being. Guided by worldview frameworks and systems thinking, this book impressively integrates the myriad parts of geography, ecology, philosophy, epistemology, history, culture, ethics and religion into the whole of sustainability. It is remarkably comprehensive, insightful and thought-provoking.'
