This review is from: The Causes And Progression Of Desertification (Ashgate Studies in Environmental Policy & Practice) (Hardcover)
"Geist's book ... is an antidote to some of the uninformed hand-waving that has taken place in the past. It is useful not only because of its analyses, but also because it has a good review of some of the uncertainties and debates in desertification research and gives indications as to how indicators of desertification can be improved." Times Higher Education Supplement
"A fascinating book for those who are interested in the fate of our planet. An in-depth study that puts desertification in perspective at a moment when human-induced climte perturbations become significant." Guy Brasseur, chair of IGBP
"The Causes and Progression of Desertification is a timely contribution that provides additional perspectives on desertification and dry land degradation. This book brings together a variety of scientific perspectives that can begin to further inform several global environmental activities that are endeavouring to better manage such problems". Coleen Vogel, chair of IHDP
