Jon Kusler, educator, attorney, author of Our National Wetlands Heritage:
“The authors help the reader to rethink flood ‘problems’ and ‘opportunities’ by posing questions that need to be answered for informed floodplain management decision-making in any context. With its analytic approach and numerous examples, this book will serve admirably as a text for anyone whose work involves floodplains.”
Ann L. Riley, watershed and river restoration advisor, California Water Boards, author of Restoring Streams in Cities:
“A good read for the student or local official wanting to understand the range of topics making up the world of floodplain management— made interesting and real through case studies.”
Larry A. Larson, executive director, Association of State Floodplain Managers:
“This book provides steps and processes for how we can use natural river ecosystems to reduce flood risk naturally. It also discusses ways to protect these rapidly depleting natural resources, showing how we can develop wisely, with the future in mind.”
Edward A. Thomas, attorney, Michael Baker Jr., Inc.:
“This book is a brilliant, practical approach to solving the problems we cause to people, the environment and the taxpayer as we develop and re-develop in hazardous areas throughout our nation’s floodplains.”
