Environmental Policy is a core course
for the Master of Environmental Studies.



"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all."
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

"The world, we are told, was made especially for man--a presumption not supported by all the facts... Why should man value himself as more than a small part of the one great unit of creation?"
John Muir, naturalist (1838-1914)
"A critic is one who leaves no turn unstoned."
George Bernard Shaw (1956-1950)
"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant."
Robert LouisStevenson (1850-1894)
"Mistakes live in the neighbourhood of truth and therefore delude us."
Rabindranath Tagore, poet (1861-1941)
