'As a natural resource manager and professional, the book, while environmental management focused, is still relevant, as many of the trends and discussions occur in my world the same as they appear in the environmental management sphere. It's a great book for being able to begin to understand the ever changing and evolving world of environmental management, and I'm glad Professor Lame and Dr Marcantonio wrote this book to keep the material relevant.' Ben Weise, Contra Costa Resources Conservation District 'Environmental Management offers sage advice, grounded in practical realities, for ethical and effective management of pollution and natural resource problems. Lame and Marcantonio have written a fantastic textbook, filled with real-world examples and concrete lessons, that instructors will find valuable for training future environmental leaders.' David Konisky, Indiana University 'Bill Gates believes that environmental issues - climate disruption, in particular - are the most important issues facing companies, and thus the managers running them. Environmental Management: Concepts and Practical Skills is an extremely timely book addressing the challenges that executives will face in the decades to come. It is useful to college professors, students, and practitioners in their careers.' Jeff Anstine, North Central College 'In an era when environmental management is often clouded by partisan politics and rhetoric, this book is a breath of fresh air teaching the next generation how to manage for the environment.' Rosemary O'Leary, University of Kansas 'The textbook is full of insightful details, from emphasizing that environmental management is managing both people and nature, to highlighting the importance of understanding the scale, effect, and history of an issue at hand, and using past knowledge to inform decisions while anticipating future conditions. It challenges prospective and seasoned environmental managers with tough but necessary questions, evaluating your effectiveness and inclusion of equitable practices.' Brian Watts, Flood-Prepared Communities initiative, The Pew Charitable Trusts
