'In the new edited volume: A Research Agenda for Environmental Management, edited by Kathlen Halvorsen, Chelsea Schelley, Robert Handler, Erin C. Pischke, and Jessie Knowlton, we have a much needed accessible and useable handbook on how to do transdisciplinary and collaborative research in the era of climate change, which presents never-before faced challenges in environmental management. Authors do a splendid job of providing case studies on how to further expand our understanding and implementation of TD research to address the wicked problems of our time. This edited volume is accessible and useful for those looking to expand their use and understanding of TD methods and approaches.'--Gabrielle Roesch McNally, Climate Hubs, US Department of Agriculture
