Practical tips from experienced natural resource planners Natural
resources planning involves solving complex problems. Fascinating
new issues continue to emerge as we seek to identify and preserve
natural DNA, struggle with invasive and nonindigenous species, and
worry about the well-being of native and managed pollinators.
Meanwhile, we continue to struggle with familiar problems like
water quality, developing resources for wise uses, loss of habitat,
and floods
In every decision problem there are things we know and things we do
not know. Risk analysis science uses the best available evidence to
assess what we know while it is carefully intentional in the way it
addresses the importance of the things we do not know in the
evaluation of decision choices and decision outcomes. The field of
risk analysis science continues to expand and grow and the second
edition of Principles of Risk Analysis: Decision Making Under
Uncertainty responds to this evolution with several significant
changes. The language has been updated and expanded throughout the
text and the book features several new areas of expansion including
five new chapters. The book's simple and straightforward
style-based on the author's decades of experience as a risk
analyst, trainer, and educator-strips away the mysterious aura that

risk management, risk assessment, and risk communication in a
straightforward, conceptual manner Provides sufficient detail to
