Reviews

Land and Disaster Management Strategies in Asia is an excellent contribution to thinking about what key aspects of managing earth will demand. Its chapters deftly analyse the complex relationships among land distribution and use, economic and social development, industrialisation, ecological and climate change, food security, governance, public administration, and peace. Professor David Rosenbloom Distinguished Professor, Department of Public Administration and Policy, American University, Washington, DC, USA
