When first addressed over a generation  ago, attention was drawn to the compelling, spectacular images of sand  dunes engulfing farmlands and parched cattle dying around wells.  Research tended to focus on these events as unusual phenomena that  involved the unfortunate collision of climate and `irrational' land  use. Since then, the work of many researchers has shown us that  desertification is a multifaceted problem that involves climatic,  biogeochemical, political, and socio-economic processes that operate  more or less continuously but at rates that vary in time and space. No  attempts to arrest or reverse desertification that ignore this  complexity are likely to succeed. In a single volume, `Desertification  in Developed Countries' describes the multiple dimensions of  desertification as well as the novel approaches that have been used to  address it within the economies of developed countries. This is done  from the perspectives and experiences of the numerous authors who have  contributed to this book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-01-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792339199\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-1635-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 364\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312365293708,"sku":"9780792339199","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792339199.jpg?v=1771524752","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792339199","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
