Opis

This book is very different from existing environment and development texts. Rather than listing problems, making warnings and voicing advocacy, this title looks at practical management and problem-solving techniques.

Recenzje

'C.J. Barrow should be complemented on producing an accessible overview of the environment development debate, especially in emphasising the developing world. I will be adding it to my second year reading list as a clearly written introduction to the interrelationships that exist between environment and development as well as providing some insights into how they may be resolved.' - Alan Terry, Geography
