Managing Environmental Policy A Casebook

Twenty realistic cases on important and controversial environmental issues have been divided into five major areas of environmental studies: air quality, water pollution, natural resources conservation, solid and hazardous waste, and urban environmental problems. All of the contributors have taught environmental courses and drew upon their considerable classroom experience and expertise in the field in producing cases that (1) promote critical thinking; (2) are student friendly; (3) approximate reality by creating a host of overlapping problems with no single or clear-cut solution; (4) are written in a highly readable, lively style; and (5) are designed to promote classroom discussion on and interest in environmental issues. The book provides readers with a "case analysis" framework to use in addressing the problems, asks probing questions, and suggests educational role-playing exercises. There is a list of helpful resources for further reading and research at the end of each chapter.Watson, Robert P. is the author of 'Managing Environmental Policy A Casebook' with ISBN 9781575242330 and ISBN 1575242338.
