Summary: Excellent, hardly a week goes by when I don't recommend it
Comment: Endangered species-- spotted owls and salmon are my backyard issues- I've also worked with community based resource management and environmental conflicts for the past 15 years . .Yaffe presents powerful arguments that we are facing not solely a biological crisis but also a crisis in how we as a society make public policy decisions and manage resources.He documents 25 years of failure in forest management, inability or unwillingness to overcome barriers of integrating natural systems management into agency bureaucracies. It's solid, good reading. I underlined sentences on every page. Recommend it strongly as a guide to the lessons we need to learn if we are to "reinvent" resource management. excellent!

Summary: Not another page. PLEASE!
Comment: This book had a great title and came recommended to me by a professor at Utah State University. I whish I could say how educational it was or how it held my attention, but I had a hard time getting through just about ever page I read. You would need a list a mile long to keep up with the abbriviations used by the author. I know there are a lot of abbreviations used in the government and private sectors of natural resource managment, but having a degree in Natural Resources didn't prepare me to keep up with this one. Usually no matter how uninteresting a book is you can get by if you have to. I just couldn't keep going with it through the end.
