摘要:Those involved in the teaching, study, design, application and evaluation ofAustralian agricultural and resource policy, and indeed those a.ected bysuch policy, have long been in need of a comprehensive text on the subject.To date they have had to be content with journal papers, chapters in bookshaving a broader coverage than agricultural and resource policy and sundryother publications, including periodic reviews by government-appointedteams. Whilst the Godden book will not replace the need to consult suchpublications, it is a very great convenience to have so much of the subjectmatter between one pair of covers. Godden has done the Australianprofession a great service in producing this book.
