Managing Pollution
Nine international case studies, most based on mainstream neoclassical economics, apply cost-benefit analyses to assess the benefits of pollution control and address the limitations of such methods and friction between economics and "hard" science. Alternative approaches such as multiple criteria models are also applied to diverse pollutants and geographic areas and supported by figures and tables. Spash (environmental and ecological economics, U. of Cambridge) provides context for the field's study of human health and other impacts, and considers lessons Europe can learn from the US experience with air pollution and crop damage. McNally is with the Environmental Science and Policy Research Group at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Huntingdon, UK. c. Book News Inc.
