Excellent, hardly a week goes by when I don't recommend it

Endangered species-- spotted owls and salmon are my backyard issues- I've also worked with community based resource management and environmental conflicts for the past 15 years . .Yaffe presents powerful arguments that we are facing not solely a biological crisis but also a crisis in how we as a society make public policy decisions and manage resources.He documents 25 years of failure in forest management, inability or unwillingness to overcome barriers of integrating natural systems management into agency bureaucracies. It's solid, good reading. I underlined sentences on every page. Recommend it strongly as a guide to the lessons we need to learn if we are to "reinvent" resource management. excellent!
