"Leuenberger and Bartle blend public administration, economics, risk, environmental policy, education, and outcome assessment in a new way never seen before. This book is cutting-edge and a must-read for anyone who cares about the future." — Rosemary O'Leary, The Maxwell School of Syracuse University (*)

"Leuenberger and Bartle have articulated quite nicely what many in public administration are instinctively coming to feel but have yet to work through in all its implications. We are entering an epoch wherein the field and all those who practice it will be judged—in addition to all other considerations—by their ability to play a leadership role in achieving more environmentally sensitive and sustainable communities. This invaluable book serves as an introduction to the tenets of sustainable development as well as a roadmap for public administrators as they address old and new issues through the prism of sustainability. The message couldn't be timelier." — Daniel A. Mazmamian, University of Southern California

"This thoughtful book offers key insights for both the sustainability and public administration communities. By clarifying and operationalizing the linkages between public administration and the environment, Leuenberger and Bartle demonstrate how governments, citizens, businesses and non-profits can work together to systematically enhance sustainability. This wide-ranging and accessible volume belongs on the shelves of both practitioners and researchers." — Tracy Yandl, Emory University
