The contribution of economic thought and method to environmental
management needs practical illustration. Too few books on the
subject achieve such an outcome. This book is among the notable
exceptions. That economics can provide a powerful vehicle for
communicating an integrated understanding of the often diverse
scientific findings germane to environmental im pact assessment
needs to be illustrated convincingly. This book does just that. But
it does more. It speaks across cultures: not to transfer know-how
from one culture to another, but rather to activate an effective
exchange of insights from one locale on the planet to another. As
such, it is a genuine contribution to the great en vironmental
exhortation of our times - think globally, act locally. Too often
the people best placed to make such contributions are too committed
to practical outcomes and making a living doing so. Just
occasionally, however, they can be persuaded to make the special
effort required to communicate globally. In this book, David James
has once again orchestrated the contributions of vir tuoso
performers. In doing so he has emulated the contribution he
sustained throughout the International Drylands Project and
preparation of the books written with John Dixon and Paul Sherman:
The Economics ofDry/and Management and Case Studies in Dry/and
Management (Earthscan, London). Taken together with his recent work
as Special Commissioner for the path breaking national Forest and
Timber Inquiry for the Australian Government, we have a body of
work characterised by great worthiness, integrity and true global
significance."
