This volume offers a unique, integrative perspective on the political
and ecological processes shaping landscapes and resource use across
the global North and South. Twelve carefully selected case studies
demonstrate how contemporary geographical theories and methods can
contribute to understanding key environment-and-development issues and
working toward effective policies. Topics addressed include water and
biodiversity resources, urban and national resource planning,
scientific concepts of resource management, and ideas of nature and
conservation in the context of globalization. Giving particular
attention to evolving conceptions of nature-society interaction and
geographical scale, an introduction and conclusion by the editors
provide a clear analytical focus for the volume and summarize
important developments and debates in the field.
