Drylands, which cover over half the world's area, have witnessed
rapid development, exploitation and change with the discovery of
mineral reserves, urbanization and population growth. Environmental
management is critical to the conservation and sustainable use of
resources. This comprehensive text offers a systematic study of the
physical nature of drylands and the history of human response to
and uses of these harsh landscapes. Detailed case studies,
including urban as well as pastoral drylands from California to
Soviet Central Asia, the Middle East, the Sahara and Australia,
contrast different management approaches and problems.
