Book Review: Wetlands Deskbook, 3rd edition. Margaret Strand and Lowell M. Rothschild. 2010. ELI Press, Washington, DC. 745 pp. $119.95 paperback (ISBN 978-1-58576-127-2)

Strand and Rothschild’s Wetlands Deskbook, 3rd edition, is a comprehensive and condensed review of federal wetlands policy. The nature of the topic is both convoluted and circuitous, and yet the authors have arranged the latest information into an easily understood resource manual both for seasoned practitioners and for those just beginning to navigate the labyrinth that is the federal permitting nexus. While admitting that this topic is a constantly evolving discipline with ever-changing interpretations and applications by federal authorities, the authors have made every effort to coalesce available information and interpretations into a concise primer for the environmental professional.
