Environmental Management and Governance

Peter J.May, Raymond J. Burby, Neil J. Ericksen, John W. Handmer, Jennifer E. Dixon, Sarah Michaels, D. Ingle Smith

Environmental Management and Governance is a well-structured book. Readers can easily follow the logic of each chapter...For the most part the book is clearly written and well presented. Plates, figures and tables are numbered logically, well-positioned in relation to the text, and are of adequate size and visual quality. I believe that the book will be useful as a support text because of its information. The case studies will be most helpful for students...' - P.A. McManus, University of Newcastle, Australia.
