Reshaping the Countryside: Perceptions and Processes of Rural Change

by Nigel Walford, John Everitt (Editor), Darrell Napton (Editor)

During the past few decades, characteristics of the countryside traditionally regarded as immutable have begun to change substantially. This book collects a variety of impressions of these changes in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. It explores the issues of continuity and
change associated with the operation of demographic, socio-economic and political processes as they reshape the countryside. An valuable survey for students and researchers in rural studies and geography, the book is also an indispensable guide for policy makers and professionals concerned with the
management and planning of rural resources and the countryside.
