Reviews

"This is the only recent book to describe how the many often highly conflicting issues involved in the utilization and conservation of natural resources may be drawn together in a multidisciplinary context...A valuable feature of the publication is the use of multi-author case studies to illustrate the key points made in each chapter."-- "Experimental Agriculture"
