Drylands are a sizeable part of the world's potentially arable land. They vary from the hyper-arid regions of the classic deserts of Africa and Asia to the more common semi-arid and sub-humid areas that support extensive agricultural systems dependent on rainfall or irrigation. This book surveys a wide range of drylands and their resources.
Focuses on the people who live and farm in the drylands, their use of land resources and the economic returns from their decisions.
It has always been thought that some level of pollution and waste is unavoidable in development projects. But no one has made much effort to quantify and assess the extent of this sort of damage. This book proposes a means of constructing economic evaluations of the impacts of development projects on the environments in which they are constructed.
