Klappentext zu „A Companion to Environmental Geography “
A Companion to Environmental Geography is the first book to comprehensively and systematically map the research frontier of 'human-environment geography' in an accessible and comprehensive way.* * Cross-cuts several areas of a discipline which has traditionally been seen as divided; presenting work by human and physical geographers in the same volume
* Presents both the current 'state of the art' research and charts future possibilities for the discipline
* Extends the term 'environmental geography' beyond its 'traditional' meanings to include new work on nature and environment by human and physical geographers - not just hazards, resources, and conservation geographers
* Contains essays from an outstanding group of international contributors from among established scholars and rising stars in geography
This volume presents more than 30 newly commissioned essays by leading scholars that provide a summary of the state of the art in environmental geography and look ahead to future research developments in the field. It covers important practices, from remote sensing to modeling and simulation, as well as key concepts like sustainability and biodiversity. The book also devotes attention to specific topics impacting the field today, including ecosystem prediction and management, common property regimes, and integrated environmental assessment. It is an essential resource for anyone studying or working in environmental geography.

"A Companion to Environmental Geography will likely become alandmark, not only for having put forward the basics of apotentially emergent subfield in geography but also because of itscontribution to the development of an agenda for geography atlarge, concerning both the conversation across the divide andgeography s current entanglements with other scientific fields."(Geographical Review, 1 January 2012)"All of the chapters have detailed bibliographies, and the indexprovides comprehensive cross-listings."
