About RFF Press


The RFF Press is an imprint of Earthscan

The RFF Press has recently become an imprint of Earthscan. Before that it was the book publishing imprint of Resources for the Future, a nonprofit, nonpartisan, Washington D.C.-based organization that conducts independent research on environmental, energy, natural resource, and public health issues. The RFF Press imprint will continue to support Resources for the Future’s mission by publishing books that advance the use of the social sciences in environmental decision-making. Since RFF’s founding in 1952, the Press has published nearly 500 books and has developed a unique reputation for the rigor, balance, accessibility, and policy relevance of its publications.
