Environmental Risk Assessment and Management from a Landscape Perspective

"Traditional risk assessment, as currently conducted, suffers from many drawbacks well recognized by those who practice it and precisely stated in this volume. Rather than simply point out these flaws, the authors take further steps in combining topics which take risk assessment into the next century. It is axiomatic that landscape attributes are an important aspect of assessing risk and making decisions, and this work provides a useful mix of theoretical/conceptual ideas within detailed analyses of new tools available to accomplish the task. It provides the background, purpose, direction, illustrated with examples where the science of risk assessment is heading."
