Adaptive governance relies on open decision-making processes recognizing multiple interests, community-based initiatives, and an integrative science in addition to traditional science. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCase studies discussed include a program to protect endangered fish in the Colorado River with the active participation of water developers and environmentalists; a district ranger's innovative plan to manage national forestland in northern New Mexico; and how community-based forestry groups are affecting legislative change in Washington, D.C.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronald Brunner,Toddi Steelman,Lindy Coe-Juell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231136250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231136259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2006 pg. 1092","brand":"Ronald Brunner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47473778917631,"sku":"9780231136259","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c64fa6f6-5e7f-4eab-9007-9b581926a575.jpg?v=1762312888","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adaptive-governance-ronald-brunner-9780231136259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
