Sustainable Investing And Environmental Markets: Opportunities In A New Asset Class
Environmental asset classes are not a hope for tomorrow but a reality today. This new asset category promises to grow dramatically in the 21st Century as financial analysts, investors, and corporations around the world try to find ways to profit or reduce costs while promoting environmental social benefits.

First, one of my principal interests in economics has been how the economic analysis of natural resource and environment...

The Ecology of Animal Movement
"Twelve original essays written by people who have done some serious thinking about animal movements. Just about all animals (and numerous plants) move about in one way or another, so the questions with which the authors deal are useful for scientists studying diverse organisms...Useful to numerous zoologists and some botanists as well as to advanced undergraduate and graduate students."--Choice
