As environmental problems become increasingly complex, it is critical that students and activists learn the skills with which to address them. The author creates an organized method for approaching problems, understanding larger issues, and crafting solutions to a range of contemporary environmental issues.

Hughes combines aspects of the decision-making process from the fields of business, management, and communication science based on extensive research and ample practical experience in the field and classroom. He creates a logical framework to help guide thinking from identifying a problem to finding its solution. Using examples drawn from real-life situations, "Environmental Problem Solving" will become an invaluable guide for environmentalists, agency professionals, consultants, students, naturalists, and concerned citizens.
