ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS explores the issues that shape environmental policy today.

The new edition provides coverage of the historical roots of environmentalism, milestones in the development of key policies, and current problems and conflicts. It contains 12 new Another View, Another Voice profiles and six new Emerging Issues features. The author provides in-depth coverage in a readable, concise format that shows readers how environmental problems are identified and how solutions are formulated and implemented.
