About the Book

Environmental resource management, today a core academic discipline and a major professional field, was virtually invented by Professor W.R.D. Sewell, whose brilliant career was tragically cut short by his sudden death in 1987. To commemorate Sewell's enormous contribution to the creation and intellectual and practical development of the field, this book has been produced not just as an ordinary "Festschrift", but as an inventory and assessment of the current state, achievement and tasks of this burgeoning field, with important theoretical and research contributions from the world's leading authorities. A major theme of the book is the water resource, but forests, recreation and landscape issues are also featured, as well as theoretically important examinations of research methods, data collection and public policy. This should be an essential reference for students, academics and practitioners in this field.
