This book shows that the quantitative mathematical models policy makers and government administrators use to form environmental policies are seriously flawed. Based on unrealistic and sometimes false assumptions, these models often yield answers that support unwise policies. Writing for the general, nonmathematician reader, the authors begin with a riveting account of the extinction of the North Atlantic cod on the Grand Banks of Canada.

Nothing to see here, re: modeling
Revisado: 11-10-15
Unless, you are interested in examples of earth processes (e.g., Beach erosion, ground water, non-native species encroachment), then will teach you nothing about modeling and their issues. Moreover, they offer few potential solutions. Bored to tears.
