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.
