Media reviews
'Anyone concerned with the careful management of our planet, not least policy makers, could read this book with profit and should keep in mind that global warming may impose additional stress on these fragile areas in the future.' The Naturalist 'Each study raises questions about the way we look at, prepare for and respond to contemporary droughts, and how we might respond to droughts in the future.' Geographical Abstracts: Human Geography 'This is a very interesting book which looks at an old problem from a fresh perpective ... this is a useful addition to the collection and well worth reading.'
