本文提供了一个全面的介绍the important issues of land use and forest economics. The authors employ economic tools to study the allocation of land among alternative activities such as agriculture, grazing and forestry which impact upon the landscape.

‘The profound contribution of this book is that we find in one place the economic concepts and policy dilemmas pertinent to land-use and to environmental quality. These two aspects are usually treated separately and doing so induces the student to imagine that the way land and forests are used bears no relation to what happens in the water and in the atmosphere. Happily, the integrated approach here shows the importance of these interactions. The book is comprehensive, well written and nicely organized.’
