Managing the human impact on the natural environment : patterns and processes / edited by Malcolm Newson
- London Belhaven 1992
- 282 p.
This is a core textbook on the physical processes of the natural environment and the human use and abuse of it. It outlines the principles and practices of environment management as well as considering the future and our abilities to plan and control management strategies. The particular perspective applied here is from the discipline of geography, which the editor argues holds the key to our understanding of how to manage the environment constructively. Given that the essential feature of environmental problems is their geographic pattern, this book is essential reading for both geographers and non-geographers alike.
