Abstract/Description:

This chapter brings to the foreground the tension perceivable in the field between the need to engage the public and the need for professional expertise in environmental governance. Indeed, not only can public opinion deviate from scientific knowledge, scientific knowledge itself can be lacunose or contradictory. In this chapter, the structure of the book is explained and the focal point of each chapter composing the book is provided.
