520 |a "Rosenbaum's classic, comprehensive text once more provides definitive coverage of environmental politics and policy, lively case material, and a balanced assessment of current environmental issues. The book sets needed context and describes the policy process, then covers specific environmental issues such as air and water pollution, toxic and hazardous substances, energy (both fossil fuel and nuclear), public lands, and climate change. Covering major environmental policy initiatives and controversies during President Obama's first term, and capturing the sudden and radical changes occurring in the American energy economy with fracking, the natural gas boom, and the fading of commerican nuclear power's 'renaissance', this ninth edition offers needed currency and relevancy for any environmental politics course." -- Back cover.
