Nature?s Experts is a timely and important book."?David H. Guston, author of Between Politics and Science: Assuring the Integrity and Productivity of Research "This book by Stephen Bocking is as much about deliberative democracy as it is about science and the environment. Stephen Bocking?s treatment is deep, perceptive, and profoundly wise. He has caught the heart of present and future environmental science, politics, and democratic governance."?C. S. Holling, The Resilience Alliance and emeritus professor, Arthur R. Marshall Jr. Chair in Ecological Sciences at the University of Florida "If knowledge is power, how should expert advice be deployed by a would-be democratic society? This perennial question is newly illuminated by this timely and wide-ranging review of the role played by science in the making of environmental policy."?William C. Clark, Harvey Brooks Professor of International Science, Public Policy, and Human Development, Harvard University, John F. Kennedy School of Government It seems self-evident that science plays a central role in environmental affairs. Regulatory agencies, businesses, and public interest groups all draw on scientific research to support their claims. Some critics, however, describe science not as the solution to environmental problems, but as their source. Moreover, the science itself is often controversial, as debates over global warming and environmental health risks have shown. Nature?s Experts explores the contributions and challenges presented when scientific authority enters the realm of environmental affairs. Stephen Bocking focuses on four major areas of environmental politics: the formation of environmental values and attitudes, management of natural resources such as forests and fish, efforts to address international environmental issues such as climate change, and decisions relating to environmental and health risks. In each area, practical examples and case studies illustrate that science must fulfill two functions if it is to contribute to resolving environmental controversies. First, science must be relevant and credible, and second, it must be democratic, where everyone has access to the information they need to present and defend their views. 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEnvironmental sciences 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences. 676 $a333.7 700 $aBocking$b Stephen$f1959-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01170143 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785605503321 996 $aNature's experts$93785007 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00962nas# 2200265 i 450 001 VAN0036470 005 20080110120000.0 011 $a0042-0646 100 $a20050523a1959 |0itac50 ba 101 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $a|||| ||||| 110 $aaB||||||||| 200 1 $aUomini e idee$erivista bimestrale di filosofia, scienza e metapsichica 210 $aNapoli$cGuida$d1959- 215 $av.$d23 cm. 620 $dNapoli$3VANL000005 676 $a505$cScienze pure.
