Precautionary Politics: Principle and Practice in Confronting Environmental Risk (Urban and Industrial Environments)
"This book clearly, cogently, and in meticulous fashion demonstrates how to build a common vernacular between the U.S. and the E.U. around the precautionary principle. In so doing, it provides a forceful indictment of those authors who have largely dismissed the concept in favor of risk-benefit analysis. This makes it an original and welcome addition to the literature."--Jan Mazurek, Director, Energy & Environment Project, Progressive Policy Institute"What a concepta book on environmental ethics that is actually useful for policymakers and activists.
