This text looks at the concept of wilderness and then examines specific wilderness landscapes and ecosystems through the use of detailed case study material. Examples are taken from a range of locations, including Scotland, Alaska, Antartica, Africa, Nepal, South America, Australia and New Zealand. The book also investigates strategies for resource management in wilderness areas and tackles the management issues for conservation and recreation in these environmentally sensitive but resource-rich parts of the world. An enquiry approach is adopted throughout the text, with integrated student-based activities and decision-making exercises featuring strongly.
