The Road of the Steward: From Ancient Roots to Post-Modern Environmentalism - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

America has lost touch with environmentalism and is looking for a way to incorporate environmental concerns with immediate interests in a successful life. Even national environmental leaders seem at a loss on how best to confront environmental challenges and particularly climate change. Their ecomodernism pits nature against mankind. The lack of a unifying philosophical and practical means to address environmental challenges has become strident, with some claiming "environmentalism is dead." It is time to look back at what has worked in the past, the long distant past through today. The traditional concept of stewardship, as it developed over the past eight thousand years, incorporates economic success with environmental protection-the sense and the sensibility of environmentalism. Reflecting a half century in environmental management, Dr. Schnare gives us a scholarly yet readable foundation to initiate the much-needed conversation on what modern environmental policy should actually achieve. His work is a must-read for any serious environmentalist wanting to participate in that conversation.

David W. Schnare, Esq. MSPH, Ph.D. is an attorney, scientist and author/editor of books, chapters and articles on environmental management, policy, and law, reflecting a 37-year federal career at the United States Environmental Protection, serving as air enforcement counsel and policy chief of the drinking water program. He was the main drafter of the Trump Transition Plan for the Environmental Protection Agency, was Counsel to the Senior White House Advisor at USEPA and was slated to be Assistant Deputy Administrator at EPA.
