Rezension

“This second edition of Energy and the Wealth of Nation succeeds in covering both an enormously heterogenous selection of material while remaining utterly accessible. … this textbook would be very useful for first- and second-year undergraduates, and also an excellent reference for upper years and indeed any person wishing to get an accessible introduction to the main concepts and analysis of biophysical economics.” (Martin Sers, Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences, Vol. 10, 2020)

“This textbook has constructed an excellent approach on how to better understand economies and natural systems, and their interactions. … this book functions as a valuable academic discussion, as well as a starting point for the economic uninitiated. It has the potential to be an effective textbook for institutions looking to advance their economic teaching past the mainstream model and to seriously incorporate sustainable thinking into their teaching of economics.” (Aaron Grinter, Economic Record, Vol. 95 (308), March, 2019)
