This volume offers a unique, integrative perspective on the political and ecological processes shaping landscapes and resource use across the global North and South. Twelve carefully selected case studies demonstrate how contemporary geographical theories and methods can contribute to understanding key environment-and-development issues and working toward effective policies. Topics addressed include water and biodiversity resources, urban and national resource planning, scientific concepts of resource management, and ideas of nature and conservation in the context of globalization. Giving particular attention to evolving conceptions of nature-society interaction and geographical scale, an introduction and conclusion by the editors provide a clear analytical focus for the volume and summarize important developments and debates in the field.

Review
"The editors...use their introduction and conclusion to suggest that these articles lay out a domain of work constituting a particularly geographical contribution to political ecology. That is what sets this political ecology text apart from others that have been published recently and what makes it particularly helpful, especially for teaching geography. Its exploration of connections between political ecology and more general concerns within the discipline...offers a suggested way for thinking through the relationships between geography and this more interdisciplinary subfield....In that set of required texts listed at the top of the first page of future syllabi for political ecology courses, this one will occupy an important slot for a good many years."-- (09/26/2003)
"This is a worthwhile text for readers at any level, as much for the outstanding substantive chapters as for the front and back matter....this book is particularly appropriate for advanced undergraduate reading courses or introductory graduate courses on human-environment relationships. The chapters' adherence to multiscalar (both temporal and spatial) analysis empowers those interested in studying environmental issues to break away from monolithic theoretical constructs."-- (09/26/2003)
