Nelson (forest economics and policy analysis, U. of British Columbia) offer a reference that bridges the gap between the three disciplines by defining over 3,300 words used in environmental, ecological, and resource economics and some of the most frequently used in the environmental sciences and studies. They also provide three primers, on economics for the environment; international environmental problems; and environmental systems, dynamics, and modeling. Especially students and policymakers with little background in the area might find the dictionary useful. There are few cross- references and no guides to pronunciation. c. Book News Inc.
