Over the course of half a century, Gilbert F. White's work has served to shape and, in several instances, establish many of the fields that have come to be known as the environmental sciences. In this collection of original essays, a companion volume to White's selected writings (volume I), leading scholars in areas such as water supply, environmental hazards, and natural resource management interpret changes in these fields since White's work and assess present and future problems. With volume 1, this collection presents a complete and cogent picture of Gilbert White's contribution and the work he inspired.

Themes from the work of Gilbert F. White. The topics chosen in this volume provide a status report on what has been achieved and what challenges lie ahead across the professional concerns of White's career. A diligent reading of the papers is rewarded with a sharpened sense of how far we have come and where we now stand in the integration of social science with natural science in the development of management strategies and policy for resources and environment.
