Description:
As it becomes ever more expensive to purchase land for conservation purposes, it is becoming increasingly important both to manage existing sites properly, and to create new habitats. This comprehensive volume provides a pragmatic, habitat by habitat guide to conservation management, in which the prescriptions and methods are based upon sound science coupled with practical experience. For each habitat, the book guides the reader through the options and solutions, shows the problems to look out for, and gives good and bad examples of habitat management in the past. This will be a must for all practising ecologists, land managers, wardens, landscape architects and conservationists, and will provide a valuable reference for students of ecology, conservation and environmental science.

Strengths:
lots of subjects well explained
Weaknesses:
more broad than deep
I originally bought this book while doing my MSc but have returned to it many times since. It is a collection of essays about most subjects to do with the management of land for nature conservation.
IMO this would be very useful to anyone studying countryside management and should also be on the bookshelf of anyone involved in managing land for wildlife
