Hecht, a PhD-level expert in "green" accounting, introduces general readers and income accountants in developing countries to the concept of environmental accounts as part of national income accounting. While providing some technical background based on the United Nation's approach, she focuses mainly on how such accounts may inform public policy decisions about sustainable natural resources use. The guide includes a supply and use table framework and glossary. Distributed by Johns Hopkins U. Press. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
