Planning and Management, Third Edition

Edited by Philip Dearden and Rick Rollins

Bringing together a list of outstanding scholars and officials from the academic world, Canada's public service, and non-governmental organizations, Parks and Protected Areas in Canada gives students a comprehensive look at Canadian park management and planning. This text's carefully constructed framework - dividing content by theoretical approaches and their applications, case studies, and themes, such as the role of Aboriginal peoples in policy development - crafts an in-depth view of the contemporary issues relating to parks and protected space management in Canada today.
