We are well past the threshold of the twenty-first century. It is a time to measure distances: How far have we
come in the last decade? How far must we go? It is a time to talk about time and change: What have we lost?
What have we gained? How far have we traveled since that rapidly receding Earth Day 1970, the big bang of
the nation’s environmental era? This book is addressed to an audience who will live well into the new century,
a generation with its ambition and imagination resolutely fixed on tomorrow, so it is also a time to talk about
what might be: What might this generation accomplish? What ideas and visions will challenge its imagination
and come to fruition? In short, an author should write accurately and responsibly not only about what has
happened but also about its meaning in social and historical time. Therefore, this is a book about the more
enduring institutions and processes of U.S. environmental policymaking as well as their ongoing
transformation and implications.
Readers familiar with Environmental Politics and Policy will recognize a continuity with previous editions in
conceptual framework and substantive policy concerns. They will notice, as well, some significant editorial
improvements and an emphatic focus on many remarkable changes in the last decade that already forecast
compelling issues on the nation’s emerging environmental agenda.
