“The third edition of US Environmental Policy in Action addresses the oftenoverlooked topics of implementing and evaluating environmental policy and includes the voices of state and local officials on the front lines—the rule-writers, inspectors and others who play a critical role in shaping environmental policy. The case studies and ‘voices’ sections are especially helpful in illustrating how broad policy ideas are put into effect and evolve over time, and explain the difficult choices facing policymakers. The new edition, which comes at a time of intense political and social conflict, offers a welcome inclusion of social justice issues, and how they interact with environmental policy, and is sure to be of great interest to readers. This insightful book is easy to read and accessible to a wide range of audiences.” — Robert Duffy, Professor of Political Science, Colorado State University, USA
