American Environmental Policy

Daniel Press, Olga T. Griswold Professor of Environmental Studies and Executive Director, University of California, Santa Cruz Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, US

‘This is a well-researched, lucidly written book.​ ​It is a magnificent addition to the existing literature on environmental policies and regulations. I believe this book​ ​should motivate the academic community to conduct further research in several other environmental domains, both​ ​within the USA and in other countries. I highly recommend​ ​this book to scholars, policy-makers and other stakeholders, who are interested in environmental regulations​ ​and governance.’
