The text explains why some environmental ideas shape policy while others do not, and illustrates that even when the best short- and long-term solutions to environmental problems are identified, the task of implementing these solutions is often left undone or is completed too late. Readers are presented with a comprehensive history of the environmental movement paired with the most up-to-date account of environmental policy available today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew to the Seventh Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers new topics including fracking, Arctic drilling, the Keystone XL pipeline controversy, GMOs, food security, and the green economy.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides expanded information about the subsidy process.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtends the treatment of land preservation with a discussion of the Land and Water Conservation Fund.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdds Discussion Questions to the end of each chapter.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46266969882775,"sku":"9781138653719","price":7650.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138653719.webp?v=1769301271","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-environmental-policy-paradox-9781138653719","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
