?Basically this is a comparative analysis of two neighboring countries' individual approaches to and joint involvement in environmental protection activities. The ten chapters are authored mostly by academic political scientists or economists closely identified with environmental concerns. In Ch. 1, the editor introduces the topic and summarizes each essay's contribution. Some essays add considerably to our knowledge of Canadian-American relations, especially Ch. 3 (energy policy and federalism in the two countries) and Ch. 5 (environment, free trade, and Canada-US relations). Other chapters explore the continental environment/energy interface (Ch. 4, 7, and 10) and the role of interest groups as they bring their efforts to bear on governmental action in the field (Ch. 6). Chapters vary in length and technicality, and each contains copious endnotes. There is no final summarizing essay or any interconnecting transitional sections to tie the essays together. Selected bibliography. A useful resource as policy developments unfold in these areas in the years ahead. Advanced undergraduate through professional.?-Choice
