Original Review of Policy and Action:'The book has been carefully edited so that the contributions do, indeed, focus on their common theme and there are valuable introductory and concluding chapters by the editors. The book has benefitted greatly from the apparently good team spirit among the contributors, their impressive command of the American literature and their wide experience of the practical world...There is no doubt that it is a valuable addition to the literature on policy analysis. It contains a wealth of information and references...' Richard A. Chapman, International Journal of Environmental Studies, Vol 21 (1983).
