Recenzje

'The textbook is full of insightful details, from emphasizing that environmental management is managing both people and nature, to highlighting the importance of understanding the scale, effect, and history of an issue at hand, and using past knowledge to inform decisions while anticipating future conditions. It challenges prospective and seasoned environmental managers with tough but necessary questions, evaluating your effectiveness and inclusion of equitable practices.'
