Lave's style of writing is engaging, and her book contains powerful, provocative, and highly original findings. There's a lot at stake in this story: how expertise is established and spread, the fate of university science in an era when extramural funding is paramount, the American love affair with all things pragmatic, and ultimately, which streams will flourish and which ones will flood, die, or kill fisheries. --Julie Guthman, author of Agrarian Dreams: The Paradox of Organic Farming in California Fields and Streams is a brilliant and pathbreaking work. Lave's extensively researched and conceptually rich analysis weaves geography, environmental studies, and science studies into an analysis that is intellectually rigorous and practically relevant. It should be read not just by those interested in political ecology, ecological restoration, and water policy but by anyone interested in the complex relationships between environment, economics, science, and politics. --Jake Kosek, author of Understories: The Political Life of Forests in Northern New Mexico [Lave's] focus on Rosgen's success and the evolution of how science receives legitimate analysis makes for a thought-provoking, well researched analysis key to any geography or environmental studies program. -- Midwest Book Review [Lave's] focus on Rosgen's success and the evolution of how science receives legitimate analysis makes for a thought-provoking, well researched analysis key to any geography or environmental studies program.--Midwest Book Review Lave's style of writing is engaging, and her book contains powerful, provocative, and highly original findings.
