Decision Making in Natural Resource Management : A Structured, Adaptive Approach, Paperback by Conroy, Michael J.; Peterson, James T., ISBN 0470671742, ISBN-13 9780470671740, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

Natural resource managers and scientists are often called upon to assist with solving problems because of their technical expertise in a certain, perhaps quite narrow, area, say Conroy (forestry and natural resources, U. of Georgia) and Peterson (fish and wildlife, Oregon State U.), and assume--often mistakenly--that the client will know the best way of using that information. They provide a guide for such professionals and for students to a structured decision-making approach, adapted to natural resources. Their topics include elements of structured decision making, working with stakeholders, modeling the influence of decision, methods for obtaining optimal decisions, and case studies.
