— Gerald R. Young, Washington State University

‘The intellectual level of this book is excellent. Taming the Dragon makes significant contributions to the fields of human ecology, environmental economics, and environmental sociology. The ideas contained is this book are substantial.’

— Robert Brulle, George Washington University
