Review:

A few good points beneath a lengthy rant

Hands-On Environmentalism caricatures a villain that is a composite of stereotypes of ineffective bureaucrats and inflammatory activists. The book seems confused about what environmentalism is and doesn't devote due attention to the solutions it touts.
Clearly, a centralized bureaucracy that has little stake in success and limited local presence is a poor solution to most problems. Equally clearly, those who choose environmentalism as the fleeting vehicle for adolescent rebellion generally succeed in little more than rebelling. The authors dwell too long on this.
Haglund and Still suggest that many environmentalists don't care about solving problems and those who do care don't know how to. They also discuss several groups of people who identify problems related to natural resources and then go about solving them. People have been solving local environmental problems since before anyone coined the term "environmentalism". What should we call people committed to understanding the natural world and solving environmental problems, if not environmentalists?
The book includes a number of case studies, which are fairly well-researched. These vignettes summarize problems solved through community involvement, but are short on detail and (after a lengthy treatment at the beginning of the book) return to attacking government and activists.
Despite what the authors state, environmentalism based on problem-solving, resource management, and stakeholder involvement has been taught in universities for years. The authors of this book are not the only people who have ever read Aldo Leopold. I would stick with A Sand County Almanac, and pass on Hands-On Environmentalism.
