Summary: Skim this title but don't write off Island Press
Comment: From Island Press in 1993, this collection of essays lacks the insight and inspiration needed to jolt a new generation of environmental leaders. Emphasis in this book is on vague "environmental leadership" rather than leadership skills that can boost the laggard enviro-nonprofit sector to look for opportunites to impliment innovation and reinvent itself to create true social, economic, and environmental change. The essaysist here tend to come out of conservation science and the product is thus technical in nature and content. I fear the tendency for budding enviro-leaders would be to come directly to this text but there is much more for them in the general nonprofit sector leadership books from Drucker, Nanus/Dobbs, et al. I respect Island Press and hope that it will produce the text that will truely inform and inspire that new generation of leaders. Island is the one that is wise enough to do it right next time.

Summary: Valuable for industrialists, activists, and regulators
Comment: This book consists of a series of essays by people with experience or expertise in a certain field or certain type of job. The essays are of varying quality, and not all of them will be relevant to everyone, but it is a valuable book on a subject that isn't well-covered elsewhere
