This review is from: The Environmental Case: Translating Values Into Policy, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
The cases are much more interesting than the accompanying book about Environmental policy. I found it slightly wordy and left-leaning, which I expected, but the content is good. It might benefit by offering more about the other side. I am an environmentalist and agree with all the points they make, but I feel like I would benefit most by learning about a perspective that I don't relate to as well. You have to know the opposition if you want to be equipped to fight them.good read... a little lengthy, but makes for great discussion in class (if students actually read, which the length definitely limits -30 small font pg chapters-)

This review is from: The Environmental Case: Translating Values into Policy (Paperback)
I was pleased to recieve my book in two days, its in good shape, and the previous owner did a good job underlining the major points with notes added in the margins that are helpful to me. Its better than having a new book.
