Klappentext Ecology! Engineering! and the Paradox of Management is the first book that addresses and reconciles what many take to be the core paradox facing environmental decision-makers and stakeholders: How do they restore the environment while at the same time provide ever more services reliably fromthat environment! including clean air! water and energy for more and more people? The book provides a conceptual framework! empirical case analyses! and organizational proposals to resolve the paradox! be it in the US! Europe! or elsewhere. Thus! Ecology! Engineering! and the Paradox of Managementhas multiple audiences. First are the key professions involved in the protection and improvement of ecosystems and in the provision and delivery of services from those ecosystems. These include ecologists (and other natural scientists such as conservation biologists! climatologists! forestscientists! and toxicologists)! engineers (as well as hydrologists! environmental engineers! civil engineers! and line operators)! modeling and gaming experts! managers! planners! and power! agriculture! and recreation communities. Another audience includes university researchers in ecology! conservation biology! engineering! the policy sciences! and resource management. Those interested in interdisciplinary approaches in these fields will also find the book especially helpful. Finally! those interested in the Everglades! the Columbia River Basin! San Francisco Bay-Delta! and the GreenHeart of western Netherlands will find new insights here! as the book provides a detailed examination of the paradox in each of these cases. Zusammenfassung This is an introduction, overview and extension of ecosystem management and environmental restoration principles and applications. It develops a framework and approach to improving the environment through extensive case studies and analysis of environmental rehabilitation initiatives.
