Economists from many countries and a few private consultants analyze economic aspects of recreation activities and their management in mountains, forests, and rivers and the sea. Their topics include using economic instruments to manage access to rock-climbing sites in the Scottish Highlands, using geographical information systems to estimate and transfer recreation demand functions, how backcountry recreationists value forest and park management features in wilderness parks of the Western Canadian Shield, a random utility model of beach recreation, and estimating whalewatching demand and values with a new double-semilog empirical demand system. Some of the chapters have been published previously. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
