Reviews

From the book reviews: The book is suitable for researchers, policy makers and town planners. ... the book is interesting as it 'contains several research cases on tropical regions that had not been actively explored in the past'. Readers have the 'option to choose their favourite chapters according to their individual interests in landscapes'. (P. C. Abhilash, Journal of Cleaner Production, Vol. 87, 2015)
