"Since history is a critical part of future planning, the eight chapters of this book offer both academics and the general public a historical perspective of the evolution of science and policy actions on climate change and steps toward building a resilient and sustainable society, especially at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The book provides detailed insights into how best to deal with the nexus of environmental, social and economic problems and how to ensure strong economic growth while protecting the environment."--Page 4 of cover
