Summary
"In George W. Bush's Healthy Forests: Reframing the Environmental Debate, Jacqueline Vaughn and Hanna J. Cortner detail how the Bush administration, by changing the terms and processes of debate, sidestepped opposition and put in place policies restricting public and scientific involvement in environmental decisions. Their ground-breaking study analyzes the context and legal effects of the Healthy Forests Initiative, Healthy Forests Restoration Act, and related regulatory changes."--BOOK JACKET.
