Drylands : Environmental Management and Development, Paperback / softback Book

Drylands : Environmental Management and Development Paperback / softback

Part of the The Natural Environment: Problems and Management series

Paperback / softback

Description

Drylands, which cover over half the world's area, have witnessed rapid development, exploitation and change with the discovery of mineral reserves, urbanization and population growth.

Environmental management is critical to the conservation and sustainable use of resources. This comprehensive text offers a systematic study of the physical nature of drylands and the history of human response to and uses of these harsh landscapes.

Detailed case studies, including urban as well as pastoral drylands from California to Soviet Central Asia, the Middle East, the Sahara and Australia, contrast different management approaches and problems.
