Forest Resource Policy

Many of the issues and problems facing resource professionals today are related to public opinions about and demands for use of natural resources. Increasingly, resource professionals must have knowledge of policy as well as science. This new textbook provides a synthesis of policy analysis frameworks, civics, and forest resource programs to teach resource professionals about political processes and resource management. By discussing current programs and politics, the authors hope students will learn to anticipate and respond better to future issues. The book is also a standard reference for forest resource laws and programs.
