Description: "Planners and decision-makers today need to be in command of a broader range of tools and information than ever before. Knowledge of the Land aims to show what is available in the way of natural resources information, and how it has been used (or not used) in planning and policy making. For both methods and applications, the authors provide ample details for the reader to judge what data, skills, and procedures are required to meet their particular needs, and the references give guidance on where to find further information."--Jacket.
