Scotland's natural environment is its most treasured asset and the subject of its most vociferous debates. Charles Warren tackles land reform, the future of farming, public access, conservation of moorland and birds of prey, the place of forestry, and the control of alien species and red deer, taking up the integration of conservation with social and economic objectives.
Managing Scotland's Environment Second Edition Completely Revised and Updated Charles Warren 'Those who actually wish to help solve Scotland's environmental problems will find this an invaluable survey and an inspiration. And those who simply want to be better informed could not do better than to read it.' T. C. Smout Scotland's natural environment is its most treasured asset but also the subject of vociferous debates. The book addresses such questions as: " Why have Scotland's landscapes and wildlife been the focus of such persistent disagreement? " Is there an acceptable way of integrating the various land uses? " Why is it so difficult to reconcile the competing demands of society and nature? " Is it possible to meet our needs for food and energy while also satisfying our desire to protect and enhance the natural heritage? Written in the light of international thinking on environmental management, the second edition tackles the hottest debates of recent years - windfarms, the future of farming, land reform, the implications of climate change, and conflicts between game sport and conservation. It also discusses the challenge of creating integrated, joined-up environmental policies. Underlying all the practical and policy choices are intriguing ethical and philosophical considerations which the book addresses head on. This is an ideal text for those studying Scotland's environment at undergraduate and graduate level, as well as for those already involved in - or interested in - managing land and nature in Scotland. Throughout, it is well illustrated with photographs and specially prepared maps and diagrams. Charles Warren is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Geography & Geosciences at the University of St Andrews.
