This book is addressed to scientists, researchers, development specialists and policy makers who deal with natural resources and agriculture in the developing countries. It aims to (1) provide evidence of the impact of natural resource management research (NRMR) in the CGIAR; (2) establish a methodological foundation for impact assessments of NRMR; and (3) draw up a set of lessons for future impact assessment studies. The book consists of three main parts. Part I (chapters 1-3) provides the definitional, historical, and theoretical background for NRMR impact assessment in the CGIAR. Part II (chapters 4-11) presents the methods and results of seven case studies on the impact of NRMR projects carried out in the CGIAR. Two summary chapters (12 and13) are presented in part III. The book has a subject index.
Increased concern about the environmental and natural resource implications of
agriculture has given rise to an emphasis on research that calls attention to these
issues in developing countries. National and international agricultural research
systems, including the research Centres under the Consultative Group on
International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), have intensified research on natural
resource management (NRM) both in terms of budget allocation and priority
setting.
principles and methods for assessing causes and impacts
Approaches to research on the causes and impacts of soil erosion have changed significantly over recent years. Whereas biophysical research traditionally utilized small, carefully-managed erosion plots, models and methods are now available to study impacts of broad scale management on the hydrology and water quality of catchments and even river basins. Corresponding research tools have been developed for social and economic analysis at the household, farm and community levels. This book reviews the latest developments in such soil erosion studies. These are considered on a matrix of scales, from plot to river basin, and from farm to national policy. Some chapters review background issues while others consider specific methods. Conclusions of working groups are presented in another chapter. The book is based on papers presented at a workshop held in Indonesia in November 1997, and includes authors from Europe, America, Australia and Asia, as well as from several of the CGIAR centers.

Here we are with the second edition of Strategic Management in Tourism. It has
been a long time, and I would like to apologize to the adopters of the book.
Nevertheless, the long wait has meant that the second edition has been able to
be designed in terms of new insights, updated concepts and a new articulation of
themes. Part I is now an enlarged element of the text and combines an analysis
of the new tourism environment, economic development, tourism forecasting and
