Readers will find it an incredibly useful starting point for understanding the factors which have shaped the Scottish environment, as well as those issues which will continue to influence the world around them, now and in the future.

- Jonathan Bell, Head of Land and Sea Policy, RSPB,

a must-read for anyone interested in the management of Scotland’s environment today.

- Douglas MacMillan, Scottish Forestry

Written in the light of international thinking on environment management, this third edition tackles the hottest debates of recent years deer management, the post-Brexit future of farming, land reform, rewilding v. repeopling, windfarms and conflicts between game sport and conservation. Underlying all the practical and policy choices are intriguing ethical and philosophical considerations which the book addresses head on, including debates about the goals of conservation in a pervasively humanised world. This is an ideal text for those studying Scotland's environment at an undergraduate and graduate level, as well as for those already involved in or interested in managing land and nature in Scotland. Throughout, it is well illustrated with photographs and specially prepared maps and diagrams.
