This is the everyday reality of environmental management, yet many important decisions currently are made on an ad hoc basis that lacks a solid value-based foundation, ignores key information, and results in selection of an inferior alternative. Making progress - in a way that is rigorous, inclusive, defensible and transparent - requires combining analytical methods drawn from the decision sciences and applied ecology with deliberative insights from cognitive psychology, facilitation and negotiation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors review key methods and discuss case-study examples based in their experiences in communities, boardrooms, and stakeholder meetings. The goal of this book is to lay out a compelling guide that will change how you think about making environmental decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisit \u003cb\u003ewww.wiley.com\/go\/gregory\/\u003c\/b\u003e to access the figures and tables from the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Gregory,Lee Failing,Michael Harstone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Blackwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 7.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781444333428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobin Gregory\u003c\/b\u003e, Senior Researcher, Decision Research \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLee Failing\u003c\/b\u003e, Principal, Compass Resource Management\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Harstone\u003c\/b\u003e, Principal, Compass Resource Management\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGraham Long\u003c\/b\u003e, Principal, Compass Resource Management\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTim McDaniels\u003c\/b\u003e, University of British Columbia\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDan Ohlson\u003c\/b\u003e, Principal, Compass Resource Management\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44796785328243,"sku":"9781444333428","price":127.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_67b1b815-9d19-4d03-9609-e7be6e9ce2ea.jpg?v=1776560361","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/structured-decision-making-9781444333428","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
