Summary:
"Offering an accessible overview and assessment of U.S. environmental policy and politics today, the fourth edition of Environmental Policy and Politics draws on an extensive collection of scientific studies, government reports, and policy analyses to provide the full scope of environmental issues to students. Concise yet thorough, this text is unique in its field for employing a risk-based framework for policy analysis that encourages students to judge for themselves the significance of conditions and trends and the risks they pose."--Jacket.
