About this title

Synopsis

Drawing on teaching, research, advising and project support from around the world, Professor Crawford-Brown explores how seemingly sound principles or habits of thought can go terribly wrong when applied poorly in environmental policies as diverse as climate change, energy, community development, public health, and water and air quality. Examples are taken from the United States, Britain, European Union, Japan, Abu Dhabi and beyond, all of the countries in which he has lived and worked. Each example demonstrates how we can create more effective policies so our good intentions are matched by good actions and a good environment.
