Title: Rural planning from an environmental systems perspective
Description: "This book synthesizes knowledge from several fields that are crucial to sustainable rural development: the physical environment, biological and agricultural production, rural sociology, and economics. It takes a systems perspective, incorporating systems analysis, landscape analysis, and soil, water, and land planning.".

"Rural Planning from an Environmental Systems Perspective is directed toward graduate students and professionals, providing a source of information and concepts for those concerned with land and water policies and practices. It presents an integrated approach using practical and applicable models and methods and takes a middle position between an elementary conceptual approach to land and water management and a highly mathematically advanced treatise based exclusively on system modeling."--BOOK JACKET.
