Book excerpt: Published in 1999, this volume provides the first thorough analysis of the elements of sustainable public policy in a devolved Scotland. Following the vote for a Scottish Parliament in the 1997 referendum, it explores the immediate and longer-term challenges likely to confront Scotland. The book brings together policy-thinkers and practitioners from academia, business, the voluntary sector and politics to ask: What are the key opportunities and constraints around sustainability? What practical difference will devolution make? What changes within and beyond government will be required to strengthen the roots of sustainable development? It includes the findings from a specially-commissioned opinion poll published in this volume for the first time. Offering a far-sighted analysis, the book poses a series of timely questions and offers policy recommendations for the next decade.

Book excerpt: Managing Scotland's EnvironmentThird Edition Completely revised and updated to reflect the current debates in Scotland's natural environmentScotland's natural environment is its most treasured asset but also the subject of vociferous debates. Written in the light of international thinking on environment management, this third edition tackles the hottest debates of recent years - deer management, the post-Brexit future of farming, land reform, rewilding versus repeopling, windfarms and conflicts between game sport and conservation. Underlying all the practical and policy choices are intriguing ethical and philosophical considerations which the book addresses head on, including debates about the goals of conservation in a pervasively humanised world. This is an ideal text for those studying Scotland's environment at an undergraduate and graduate level, as well as for those already involved in - or interested in - managing land and nature in Scotland. Throughout, it is well illustrated with photographs and specially prepared maps and diagrams.The book addresses such questions as:? Why have Scotland's landscapes and wildlife been the focus of such persistent disagreement?? Why is it so difficult to reconcile the competing demands of society and nature?? Is it possible to meet our needs for food and energy while also satisfying our desire to protect and enhance the natural heritage?? To what extent can the management of the various land uses be effectively integrated?? Does the imperative of tackling climate change require a radically different approach to environmental management?Charles Warren is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Geography and Sustainable Development at the University of St Andrews.Jayne Glass is a Researcher in the Natural Resource and Sustainable Development group of the Department of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University in Sweden.

Download or read book Nature Contested written by Smout T. C. Smout and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-07 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about how we have treated nature in some of the most valued landscapes in Europe. Combining social and cultural history with ecology and geography, T.C. Smout has written an environmental history that is both profound and accessible.The Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland, the Lake District and the northern moors and plains of England form a natural region. The crags, moorland, woods and wetlands have been both treasured for their beauty and biodiversity and reviled as unproductive deserts to be improved and reclaimed. The fields have been made more fertile for production and the waters tapped for industrial use, but at a certain cost. The contest between two views of nature - conservation versus development; use versus delight - is at the centre of the book. The author begins by taking a hard look at our encounters with the natural world. He shows how the Scots and the northern English never shared the southerner's view of their environment as intimidating, and describes how conflict between using and enjoying the land gradually arose and gave birth to modern conservation ideas. He reveals how the history of the woods - especially the 'Great Wood of Caledon' - is quite different from popular myth, and examines the history and fate of the soil and the fields; of the rivers, lakes and lochs; of the hills and mountains; and of the modern quarrel over the countryside.'By the end,' the author writes, 'I hope to have presented on my theatre a dramatic tale that tells us a fair amount not only of northern Britain, but something about the globe and the European west as a whole over the last four hundred years.'
