Reviews

'...international in perspective...impressive array of topics, some fairly unique...Highly recommended for academic and public libraries.' N. Kobzina, University of California, Choice June 2002

'...an impressive work...The editors have succeeded in building a framework for understanding the complexities of environmental politics on the world's stage and the diverse number of contributors ensures that this work extends beyonds the contextual boundaries of Western society...highly recommended...' - Robert V. Labaree, American Reference Books Annual 2003"The Encyclopedia places at the disposal of those in the environmental policy community information on an impressive range of issues... I would strongy recommend that those teaching environmental politics and environmental studies make sure that the students have access to this reference work in their institutional library. The Encyclopedia would also be a valuable resource for smaller environmental libraries." -Environments
