Interesting case studies. helpful learning aid

The cases are much more interesting than the accompanying book about Environmental policy. I found it slightly wordy and left-leaning, which I expected, but the content is good. It might benefit by offering more about the other side. I am an environmentalist and agree with all the points they make, but I feel like I would benefit most by learning about a perspective that I don't relate to as well. You have to know the opposition if you want to be equipped to fight them. good read... a little lengthy, but makes for great discussion in class (if students actually read, which the length definitely limits -30 small font pg chapters-)
