"Better Environmental Decisions brings together leading scholars and practitioners from business, government, and communities to provide a comprehensive, interdisciplinary introduction to the new landscape of environmental regulation and agreements. Each chapter describes an important aspect of environmental decision making; identifies key issues, problems, and barriers; and recommends ways to improve both the process and the final result. Throughout, contributors focus on providing tools to make better decisions, and on presenting solutions to real-world problems. This useful work will be a landmark reference and text for scholars and students, as well as legislators, regulators, advocates, and community activists."--Jacket. |
