About this product
Product Information
In the past few decades, sustainability of natural resources and the social and environmental issues that surround them have become increasingly topical. This multidisciplinary book discusses the complex relationships between society, natural resources and the environment. Major resources including water, agriculture, energy, minerals and forests are considered, as well as different facets of the environment including climate, landforms and biodiversity. Each resource is discussed in the context of both environmental and socio-economic factors affecting their present and future distribution and demand. Presenting a balanced, comprehensive overview of the issues surrounding natural resources and sustainability, this accessible volume will be of interest to policy makers, resource managers, graduate students and researchers in the natural and social sciences.

Reviews
Advance praise: 'Since the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio during 1992, international agencies, national governments, non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, the media, and the public have recognized the significance of the interactions between social, environmental, and economic needs and problems. Considerable research, development, and application have emerged but interdisciplinary approaches to problems have often been lacking. This book provides a comprehensive and integrative approach to the dynamics of natural resources, the concept of sustainability, the needs and impacts of humans, and the roles of climate and biodiversity. This substantial tome is a major contribution to broader understanding and cooperation, written by outstanding authors, and will be a fundamental resource for policy-makers, managers, and academics for many years.' Jeff Burley, Oxford Forestry Institute
