McGuire (environmental policy, U. of Massachusetts-Dartmouth)introduces a set of common tools used in environmental decision-making, and a framework for analyzing environmental problems. Readers do not need a background in any particular discipline, though he draws on intellectual tools from several disciplines, including both natural and social sciences. He deals in turn with the three major kinds of criteria for making a decision: science, economics, and values. A final section presents case problems of watershed management, fisheries management, sustainability, and climate change. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
