Environmental Management and Development by Chris Barrow

The environment and its management has been, and continues to be a very topical issue. Existing environment and development texts place emphasis is on listing problems, making warnings and voicing advocacy, but by focusing on environmental management, this informative book offers a very different perspective. Moving on from the usual much-discussed viewpoints, Barrow looks towards practical management and problem-solving techniques. He clarifies the definition, nature and role of environmental management in development and developing countries, beginning with an introduction to the key terms, issues and tools of environmental management, which are linked and developed in later chapters, and concluding by discussing who pays for environmental management and its future in developing countries. Written by an experienced and well-known author, this clear, user-friendly book, ideal for students of resource management, geography and development studies, makes excellent use of chapter summaries, boxed case studies, annotated further readings and websites, discussion questions and illustrations.

'CJ. Barrow should be complemented on producing an accessible overview of the environment development debate, especially in emphasising the developing world. I will be adding it to my second year reading list as a clearly written introduction to the interrelationships that exist between environment and development as well as providing some insights into how they may be resolved.' - Alan Terry, Geography
