OUTSTANDING SURVEY OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

I am a former professor who, since 1980 has worked in the private sector and then government, for the past 15 years on environmental issues. Now I hope to teach again, about environmental policy. After rereading many books and catching up on new publications, I just read (cover to cover, in September 2001) the 4th edition of this book. It is great! The best introduction to environmental policy that I have seen. If I do teach, this will definitely be the main book, supplemented by shorter readings on legal fact-finding processes and criteria that impact environmental policy (environmental law is, in my opinion, more important than the attention it receives here). I strongly recommend this book, and am confident that the forthcoming, fifth edition will be as good as its predecessor.

Informative and Enjoyable Textbook...

I read most of this book in pieces as an environmental science student a few years back for writing papers and taking tests. As an Environmental Specialist working for the government now, I still refer to the textbook frequently! Great reference book, great textbook. Thanks!
