Description: "In order to really see the forest, what's the best way to count the trees? Understanding how the economy interacts with the environment has important implications for policy, regulatory, and business decisions. How should our national economic accounts recognize the increasing interest in and importance of the environment?"--BOOK JACKET.

"Nature's Numbers responds to concerns about how the United States should make these measurements. This book recommends how to incorporate environmental and other non-market measures into the nation's income and product accounts."--BOOK JACKET.
