Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Contemporary environmental decisions are made within the context of sustainability aimed at meeting integrated ecological, economic and social goals. Most involve a complex mix of actors and institutions - differing values and differing interests. Choices are difficult and often controversial, and decision-making processes and contexts provide crucial influences on outcomes.\nThis book explores these processes and context and the influences which affect them. For example:\n\nHow do different value systems influence what environmental issues come onto the public agenda, and their management?\nWhat institutions and actors are involved in the processes and how?\nWhat tools are available and what are their limitations?\nHow should we deal with uncertainty and risk?\nHow do we incorporate relevant but very different forms of knowledge, and how do we manage the information explosion?\n\nThe authors take a multidisciplinary approach and engage in themes from political science, law, economics, philosophy, natural sciences, geography, engineering and sociology. Their book is rich with practical examples, including three extensive case studies that illustrate the complexities and contestations of environmental decision-making.\nThe book is aimed at the ever-widening range of people who are, or are hoping to become, environmental professionals, whether from the scientific, technical or social science fields. It is also relevant for interested members of the public. Explores the processes, contexts and influences affecting contemporary environmental decisions, with practical examples throughout and three extensive case studies. This book considers the influence of different value systems; the institutions and actors involved, such as government and the public; available tools; and uncertainty and risk. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
