While many others have addressed issues of ecosystem management, Layzer is one of the few to provide a comparative assessment of several cases by the same author, using the same analytical framework. This book is significant for several reasons. First, it provides useful information for seven intriguing cases. Layzer does this in a lively, informed style. Second, it provides important lessons for debates regarding issues such as the impact of collaborative planning and adaptive management. Third, it contributes to efforts to improve ecosystems. --William Lowry, Washington University in St. Louis

"""Ecosystem-Based Management has been widely-heralded by a diverse range of scholars and practitioners in recent decades. Judith Layzer steps back and takes a careful look at efforts to apply this approach in very diverse settings, challenging a good deal of conventional analysis along the way. This is not a search and destroy mission but rather an unusually thoughtful look at just how EBM works, considering not only process-based outputs but tackling the much-tougher question of whether it fosters superior environmental protection."" --Barry Rabe, Gerald Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan -- Barry Rabe ""Ecosystem-based management has been widely heralded by a diverse range of scholars and practitioners in recent decades.
