I will be in Berkeley next week. After a tough teaching quarter where I taught one 116 person environmental economics class and one 18 person freshman seminar class on China's Pollution Challenges, it is time for me to do some writing. One of my goals for next week is to finish a full revision of
my Amazon e-book on environmental economics. The book now has two Amazon reviews (neither written by my son!) and both tell the truth.

This text contains a number of intriguing economic principles relating to the environment, is easy to understand, and very cheap! That being said, this text needs heavy editing. Some examples are weak or the conclusions are arrived at too quickly. The charts and graphs are so elementary. Still, I have a feeling this environment text is much more palatable than its competitors.

Kahn does a great job at simply describing environmental economics. Its a must read for every environmentalist out there. And Its a must read for economists too. Now if only they'd turn this into a movie...
I have a number of ideas for how to address these issues.
On an unrelated note, I'm not going to the 2014 AEA meetings. Philly is not for me. For those with a taste for history, here is the program for the AEA meetings from 1973. On page 45, you will see the "notice" that the new journals called; Journal of Urban Economics and Journal of Environmental Economics and Management will soon be published. Those journals have been important for me.
