Natural Resource Conservation: Management for a Sustainable Future
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Written from a sustainable perspective, this readable, yet rigorous, book provides comprehensive coverage of a variety of local, regional, national, and global resource and environmental issues from population growth to wetlands to agriculture to global air pollution. It emphasizes practical, cost-effective, sustainable solutions to these problems that make sense from social, economic, and environmental perspectives. Overall increased emphasis on international and global issues (includes many examples from Canada). New information on Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing-integrated GIS Remote Sensing boxed information appears throughout, including 12 case studies. Expanded coverage of ecosystem management and watershed management, global climate change, ozone depletion, wetlands protection, and policy-including new international treaties, new federal laws, and more. The friendly, approachable writing style makes the book accessible to a wide range of readers-from those who want an introduction in natural resource conservation and natural resource management to professionals in this field.
