A Workbook for Problem-Based Learning Ecological economics
addresses one of the fundamental flaws in conventional economics
--its failure to consider biophysical and social reality in its
analyses and equations. Ecological Economics: Principles and
Applications is an introductory-level textbook that offers a
pedagogically complete examination of this dynamic new field. As
a workbook accompanying the text, this volume breaks new ground
in applying the principles of ecological economics in a problem-

workbook are situated within a new interdisciplinary framework

a way that respects fundamental human values. The workbook takes
the approach a step further in placing ecological economic
analysis within a systems perspective, in order to help students
identify leverage points by which they can help to affect
change. The workbook
