Rosenbaum (political science, U. of Florida) offers a critical account of US environmental policy and the political factors shaping it. He focuses on the deficiencies in institutional and policy design in environmental regulation since 1970, and the environmental movement's group structure and political cleavages. He deals with issues such as nuclear waste, risk assessment, and the battle for public lands, and examines political problems inherent in protecting biodiversity. This third edition discusses recent amendments to the Clean Air Act. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
