Publisher's Synopsis
′These chapters are excellent though not definitive interpretations of the history they selectively cover. They offer fresh, insightful, plausible interpretaions of the events and processes they describe. For this reason alone, this book deserves the serious attention of anyone interested in understanding how energy policy got where it is today, understood in terms of players, perspectives, and social epistemology. Its contribution as a study about the persistence of policy conflict under conditions of distrust among the major players is also solid enough because these conditions and consequences are made so arrestingly clear.′ -- Policy Sciences Volume 14, Number 3, June 1982
