Dear Friends and Colleagues, I had wanted to send an announcement about my recently-published book to all of you earlier, but the birth of our second son slowed me down a bit. :) In any case, I'm pleased to announce the publication of Green Grades: Can Information Save the Earth? by MIT Press:
[cid:[email protected]] Paperback | $30.00 | £24.95 | 408 pp. | 6 x 9 in | 33 b&w illus. | ISBN: 9780262534901 eBook | $21.00 | ISBN: 9780262340977 The book is a comprehensive assessment and analysis of the relevance, validity, trustworthiness, usability, and effectiveness of environmental certifications and sustainability ratings, such as ENERGY STAR, LEED, and USDA Organic. It draws on interviews, case studies, and an original dataset of 245 environmental ratings and certifications to examine the "information value chain" of these green grades, and offers a realistic appraisal of the role of information-based environmental governance and its relation to other governance strategies.
