Island Press Authors
Island Press authors are leaders in the environmental community and innovators in their fields, with a wealth of experience that informs all the work we do. Since 1984, we have published the writing of more than 500 experts in architecture and design, conservation biology, ecosystem restoration, environmental policy and economics, public health, and many other subjects. These thought leaders understand the need for practical solutions to today’s complex environmental problems, and we are proud to bring their ideas to a larger audience of policymakers, practitioners, scientists, students, and activists.
Our authors are authorities on a range of environmental topics within five core areas: the built environment; climate and energy; ecosystems; oceans and water; and policy, economics, and law.
