Summary "Michael Runge and his coeditors have prepared a collection that walks the reader through about fifteen real-world examples in which structured decision making, or SDM, was used to solve wildlife management problems. SDM is a useful approach to problems with conflicting interests, competing priorities, and various stakeholders. The case studies describe the process that unfolded and the outcomes/actions taken"-- Provided by publisher
