* Major new Reader in the growing field of environment and development
* Brings together the key articles of the last 10 years into a single, accessible sourcebook covering the major issues in the field
* Ideal core reading for students, academics and practitioners in the all areas of environment and development

This new Reader brings together for the first time a core selection of key articles published over the past decade that have helped define the field of "environment and development".
In three sections the book covers the ways in which the environment and environmental change have been conceptualized or (mis)understood; thematic areas including the affect of population and poverty pressures on the environment; actors in environment and development and the relationship between people and natural resources; and environment and development in practice and theory.
Slated to become the core reading text in this complex, growing field of study and practice.
