Environmental Histories, Access to Resources and Landscape Change
A special issue of the journal 'Land Degradation & Development' (ISSN
1085-3278) on "Environmental Histories, Access to Resources and Landscape
Change" [vol 10(4): 279-396, 1999] contains seven papers by geographers
and historians. The papers arose from a conviction that 'resource use
histories' help explain contemporary and past landscapes, and that more
sophistication is required in their analysis. In particular,
methodological and theoretical commonalities between political ecologists
and environmental historians are explored. The editors are Simon
Batterbury and Tony Bebbington.
Unlike some previous ventures we have been involved with, there are no
special copies for sale. Please check your libraries, or ask the
individual authors.
