Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Using the Columbia River Basin in the Pacific Northwest as a case study, Kai Lee describes the concept and practice of "adaptive management," as he examines the successes and failures of past and present management experiences. Throughout the book, the author delves deeply into the theoretical framework behind the real-world experience, exploring how theories of science, politics, and cognitive psychology can be integrated into environmental management plans to increase their effectiveness.

  Adaptive Management   May 3, 2004
Tyler Markowsky (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Public policy is inherently boring and dry and unfortunately works its self out in lengthy, sleep-inducing, thirst-exacerbating discourse.

Professor Lee takes note and avoids putting his readers asleep with his interesting and educating environmental policy study!

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in policy adaptation, adaptive management, complex analysis ("complexitory"), environmental science, and politics, in general.

This book can be applied by policy analysts, risk analysts, managers (engineers / scientists / economists) and auditors.

Four stars because policy theory is still boring.

Regards,
Tyler Markowsky
