Abstract: "A rare collection of articles that fuses academic theory with a critique of practice and practical knowledge, Transforming Parks and Protected Areas looks in detail at the emerging issues in the design and operation of parks and protected areas. Addressing critical dynamics and current practices in parks and protected areas management, this extensive volume goes well beyond simple managerial solutions and descriptions of standard practice."--BOOK JACKET.
