Summary

"One of the most pressing issues currently facing society's use of natural resources is the influence that urbanization and urban cultures have on wildland uses. This collection of essays addresses a variety of wildland-urban issues and topics including: identifying the characteristics of cross-cultural wildland users; developing a land ethic among nontraditional forest users; communicating effectively with diverse cultures among users; and managing depreciative behavior. Created for scholars, natural resource managers, planners, and policymakers, this book will also prove invaluable to anyone interested in exploring our land ethic and its impact on our land."--Jacket.
