Banner Jr. The book "American Environmental Policy 1990-2006 Beyond Gridlock" by James E. Banner Jr. provides a comprehensive overview of the development of environmental policy in the United States during the period from 1990 to 2006. The author examines the complex and often contentious relationship between science, politics, and public opinion in shaping environmental policy, highlighting the challenges faced by policymakers in addressing the urgent issues of climate change, air and water pollution, and the loss of biodiversity. The book explores how political polarization and ideological differences have hindered progress in environmental policy-making, leading to a "gridlock" that has prevented meaningful action on these critical issues. The book begins by discussing the historical context of environmental policy in the United States, tracing the evolution of environmental laws and regulations from the early 20th century to the present day. It then delves into the major environmental issues facing the country during the 1990s and 20000s, including the impact of human activities on the climate, the degradation of air and water quality, and the loss of natural habitats. The author analyzes the role of science and technology in understanding and addressing these issues, emphasizing the need for a more integrated approach to environmental policy that incorporates both scientific knowledge and social values. One of the central themes of the book is the tension between the need for technological innovation and the importance of preserving the natural world. The author argues that while technology has provided many benefits, it has also contributed to environmental degradation, and that a balance must be struck between these two competing interests.
Баннер Мл. В книге «American Environmental Policy 1990 - 2006 Beyond Gridlock» Джеймса Э. Бэннера-младшего представлен всеобъемлющий обзор развития экологической политики в США в период с 1990 по 2006 год. Автор рассматривает сложные и часто спорные отношения между наукой, политикой и общественным мнением при формировании экологической политики, подчеркивая проблемы, с которыми сталкиваются политики при решении насущных проблем изменения климата, загрязнения воздуха и воды, а также потери биоразнообразия. Книга исследует, как политическая поляризация и идеологические различия препятствовали прогрессу в разработке экологической политики, что привело к «тупику», который помешал значимым действиям по этим важнейшим вопросам. Книга начинается с обсуждения исторического контекста экологической политики в США, прослеживая эволюцию экологических законов и правил от начала XX века до наших дней. Затем он углубляется в основные экологические проблемы, с которыми столкнулась страна в 1990-х и 2000-х годах, включая влияние человеческой деятельности на климат, ухудшение качества воздуха и воды, а также потерю естественной среды обитания. Автор анализирует роль науки и техники в понимании и решении этих вопросов, подчеркивая необходимость более комплексного подхода к экологической политике, который включает в себя как научные знания, так и социальные ценности. Одна из центральных тем книги - напряжение между необходимостью технологических инноваций и важностью сохранения мира природы. Автор утверждает, что, хотя технология дала много преимуществ, она также способствовала ухудшению состояния окружающей среды и что необходимо найти баланс между этими двумя конкурирующими интересами.
Banner Ml. L'American Environmental Policy 1990-2006 Beyond Gridlock di James E. Banner Jr offre una panoramica completa dell'evoluzione delle politiche ambientali negli Stati Uniti tra il 1990 e il 2006. L'autore affronta le relazioni complesse e spesso controverse tra la scienza, la politica e l'opinione pubblica nella definizione delle politiche ambientali, sottolineando i problemi che le politiche devono affrontare per affrontare i problemi urgenti dei cambiamenti climatici, dell'inquinamento atmosferico e dell'acqua e della perdita di biodiversità. Il libro sta esplorando come la polarizzazione politica e le differenze ideologiche abbiano ostacolato il progresso delle politiche ambientali, portando a un'impasse "che ha impedito un'azione significativa su queste questioni cruciali. Il libro inizia con un dibattito sul contesto storico della politica ambientale negli Stati Uniti, tracciando l'evoluzione delle leggi e delle regole ambientali dall'inizio del XX secolo a oggi. approfondisce poi sulle principali sfide ambientali affrontate dal paese negli annì 90 è 2000, tra cui l'impatto dell'attività umana sul clima, il deterioramento della qualità dell'aria e dell'acqua e la perdita di habitat naturale. L'autore analizza il ruolo della scienza e della tecnologia nella comprensione e nella gestione di queste questioni, sottolineando la necessità di un approccio più completo alle politiche ambientali, che includa sia le conoscenze scientifiche che i valori sociali. Uno dei temi principali del libro è la tensione tra la necessità di innovazioni tecnologiche e l'importanza di preservare il mondo della natura. L'autore sostiene che, sebbene la tecnologia abbia dato molti vantaggi, ha anche contribuito al deterioramento ambientale e che sia necessario trovare un equilibrio tra questi due interessi concorrenti.
