Describes the drylands of the world and their management; the way human societies have evolved in response to the physical landscape and by classifying the different human uses of drylands; and case studies illustrating the kinds of management adopted for different purposes throughout the world.

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.
