Review: "Mediated Modeling is a practical guide to a new approach to environmental problem-solving, one that harnesses the power of computer modeling to guide policy and management decisions. Rather than having outside experts dispense answers to local stakeholders, mediated modeling brings together diverse interests to build a shared level of understanding of complex problems and foster broad and deep consensus through joint model building. The book includes five in-depth case studies that describe the successful use of the technique in a variety of settings. Its step-by-step description of techniques and its practical advice on implementation offer a real-world solution for all those seeking to make sound decisions about the environment."--BOOK JACKET.
