Reviews'As a natural resource manager and professional, the book, while environmental management focused, is still relevant, as many of the trends and discussions occur in my world the same as they appear in the environmental management sphere. It's a great book for being able to begin to understand the ever changing and evolving world of environmental management, and I'm glad Professor Lame and Dr Marcantonio wrote this book to keep the material relevant.'
