Understanding Environmental Policy

The first edition of this pragmatic course text emphasized the policy value of a "big picture" approach to the ethical, political, technological and scientific, economic, and management aspects of environmental issues. The text then applied this approach to real-world case examples involving leaking underground storage tanks, toxic waste cleanup, and the effects of global climate change. This second edition demonstrates the ongoing effectiveness of this framework to generating meaningful action and policy solutions to todayÕs urgent environmental issues. The text adds case examples concerning congestion taxes, e-waste, hydrofracking, and recent developments in global climate change and updates references and other materials throughout, incorporating the political and policy changes of the Obama AdministrationÕs first term and developments in national and global environmental issues. 9780231167758 023116775X 232 BOOK Political Science NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=7kgZBQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&edge=curl&source=gbs_api en
