Integrated Resource and Environmental Management

Concepts and Practice

Edited by Kevin S. Hanna and D. Scott Slocombe

The aim of this volume is to provide a coherent set of chapters that address major issues in resource and environmental management. The book has a North American focus with significant, but not exclusive Canadian Content. 'Integration' is the organizing theme of the volume. Integration as a concept (meaning variously integration across disciplines, across agencies, and across sectors) has been a key theme in the policy and management rhetoric of virtually every agency in North America and abroad for more than 30 years. As one of the dominant themes of the discipline, integration has been addressed both as a component and as the main focus of a variety of texts for this course. However, there is nothing on the market at the moment that is both up-to-date and North American in approach.

Readership : Intended for use in courses in environmental and resource management, particularly those with a land management or political ecology focus. These courses are found at the third- and fourth-year level, and follow in the curriculum after an introductory environmental studies course. Additionally, this text is both a valuable research resource for graduate-level courses and of interest to those already performing research in the rapidly developing field.

  • Has a thematic focus - the concept of 'Integration'
  • Makes an excellent pair with Mitchell's, Resource and Environmental Management in Canada, 3/e

  • Written to appeal both to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as to those already working in the discipline
