In this serious and challenging contribution to environmental decision-making, that stays alive to the often neglected issue of implementation, Mark Ryan constructs a partnership between the Precautionary Principle and the concept of Ecosystem Health that, at one stroke, brings clarity to the Precautionary Principle, gives traction to the concept of Ecosystem Health, and breathes new life into the sustainability agenda - altogether a signal achievement-- Alan Holland, Emeritus Professor, Lancaster University
