description: This revised edition of the first English-language monograph on the interdisciplinary science of landscape ecology provides a current overview of this rapidly growing subject. The book provides a unified conceptual and methodological framework for a field which is both local and global in its implications, and places human activities into context in the ecosystem. Landscape Ecology is ideally suited for use as a text in a wide range of courses on ecology-based land and resource planning, environmental management, natural resources policy, international development, regional planning, landscape geography and human ecology. It will also be of interest to the professional researcher, educator and decision-maker who deals with man's relationship to his natural and cultural environment.
