Yes, send him to www.steadystate.org , link to the “Publications” page. It is an annotated bibliography that includes some of the classics in ecological economics and then many peripherals.
If the course comes at it from the ecological end, as the ecological economics course I teach at VA Tech does, I recommend Shoveling Fuel for a Runaway Train (also summarized at www.steadystate.org ), plus Costanza et al.’s An Introduction to Ecological Economics (really the core text; from the “middle”) and G. Heal’s Nature and the Marketplace (from the market end).
I know of another outstanding one in press but it won’t be out for probably over a year yet. I won’t mention it until I get permission.

I know that some of the list members are really into Natural
Resource/Environmental Economics. Do any of you have suggestions for a
text? Something at the graduate level, but not too extreme? I'm looking
for a recommendation for a student who is interested in this area.
Thanks
Steven
