Edited by Brent M. Haddad, Professor of Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz and Barry D. Solomon, Professor Emeritus of Geography and Environmental Policy, Michigan Technological University, US<i>‘The </i>Dictionary of Ecological Economics<i> will prove essential to living in the Anthropocene. The words we use and how we use them affect how we engage with nature and each other. Using more systemic words and giving systemic meaning to old words is essential for the survival of people and other species.’</i>
- Richard B. Norgaard, University of California, Berkeley, US,
<i>‘In the age of Google do we really need a dictionary of anything, much less ecological economics? The answer is Yes! If you need consistent, citable definitions from an authoritative source for your next journal article or just to satisfy your curiosity, this is the place to go.’</i>
- Robert Costanza, University College London, UK,

In addition, most of the terms include recommendations for further reading to provide greater context and understanding, alongside citations to allow for further illustration on how a term is used in the field.
Encompassing a broad overview of the field, this Dictionary will be a useful reference for students at all levels, alongside faculty and researchers.
