Reflecting the combined expertise of the authors, the enhanced second edition of Land Degradation considers the impact of biophysical and social systems on land conditions and identifies principles that further the pursuit of sustainable land use. Accessible to an interdisciplinary audience from students and land managers to researchers and policymakers the book is an important contribution to sustainability science.--Klepeis, Peter
