"Forensic Forestry: A Guidebook for Foresters on the Witness Stand is a one-of-a-kind, hands-on resource for those forestry and land use professionals who find themselves called upon to work on legal cases, and oftentimes testify, in a courtroom. Land use and forestry issues in the United States in particular, and likewise around the world, have become increasingly scrutinized, debated, and contentious. There seems to be little to suggest that conflicts over forestlands will fade away. More likely, such conflicts will become more widespread and sharper over debates on public policy, political philosophy and political activism. There are a number of informative books available on land use and forestry, and such related issues under the broader heading of environmental science. Having said that, this book will not go into these concepts or discuss best practices. But, if someone is already an expert in land use and forestry, this book will tell them the ins and outs of the legal system, and how they can best serve to make a case, using evidence, in a court of lost. What is shown in the book in the many case examples is that there is a lot of work involved for such technical subjects to be adjudicated. While professionals' expertise is often more oriented to purely ecological issues than economic ones, money, policy, and corporate interests come into play. And this is where the professional forester's ability to deal with conflict becomes, if anything, more critical. Forensic Forestry goes to the heart of the issue by informing professional foresters as to an overall understanding of the courts, and the legal process. In this, it outline's the profession's role working on cases-and in the courtroom-as the stakes rise and more cases over land use and forestland rights, forestry management and safety, criminal and civil cases in liability in forest fires-among other such cases-are entering the vernacular. As such, this book will be a welcome addition to those professionals called upon to consult on, and testify in, such cases including land use professionals, foresters and forestry managers, ecologists, environmentalists, environmental policy advocates, and those in related fields"--

Since the 1960s, America's policymaking system has lurched from one in which leaders could simply disparage the concept of budget projections to one in which policymakers manipulate cost estimates. After rounds of good government reforms, the very rules and safeguards put in place to thwart economically unsound legislation now cause chaos by incentivizing the development of flawed, even blatantly unworkable, policies. This work examines this topic.
