Abstract:

This book covers a wide range of subjects which have enormous relevance to the interface between human society and the use and conservation of natural resources. This is a theme on which perhaps much more could have been done by researchers and academics, but possibly the integration of various disciplines, particularly through those dealing with the physical sciences and researchers involved in the social sciences, does not take place with adequate facility in most parts of the world. This volume is clearly an important contribution to the literature with a proper blending of different disciplines that would help us understand the interface between human society and natural resources in an integral manner.
