The 38 papers of this volume were selected to provide a one-stop overview of the basic thought and current state of research in the field of environmental planning. The material is divided into
8 subjects, including foundations, regulatory instruments and institutions, policy under bounded rationality, urban environmental planning, regulation of diffuse sources and land, and location
and trade. The foundation articles include Ralph Turvey's seminal 1963 "On divergences between social cost and private cost", as well as the more recent "Ecological engineering; a field whose
time has come" by W.J. Mitsch and S.E. J繪rgensen, from the 2003 volume of Ecological engineering. The articles are reproduced in facsimile of the original. The volume includes a name, but no
subject index. An introduction provides a summary of the material presented. The editors teach environmental economics and public policy, at the Free U. in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and George
Mason U. in the US. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
