"...a useful examination of the environmental records of U.S. presidents and often reads like an interesting combination of a textbook on the presidency and a text on environmental policy." - Environment "The Environmental Presidency serves as an excellent introduction to presidential powers in general and executive orders in particular." - CHOICE "...a valuable perspective on an important topic and offers a provocative agenda for future research." - FORUM for Applied Research and Public Policy "This book is NEEDED for environmental politics courses, and for presidency courses as well. There is nothing even remotely like this book available, and it tells a thorough story about the development of U.S. environmental policy and the evolution of the presidency that is both interesting and well done." - Nicholas Lovvich, Washington State University "The Environmental Presidency addresses a neglected area in presidency studies and does so in an original, methodological way." - Larry Berman, University of California, Davis
