Title:	Demographic Change in Australia’s Rural Landscapes
Authors:	Gary W. Luck Digby Race Rosemary Black
Keywords:	Demographic Change
Issue Date:	2011
Publisher:	Springer
Description:	This book makes a valuable contribution to the literature because it adopts an integrated and interdisciplinary approach by explicitly linking demographic change with environmental, land-use, social and economic factors. This integrated approach was achieved by encouraging interaction among authors writing on similar topics to ensure coherency and complementarity among chapters, and cross-pollination of ideas and perspectives. Chapters are presented as interactive and reflective discussions that address the findings of other contributors; yet, each chapter contains enough background to stand alone as a unique contribution. This allows readers to focus on those chapters of most interest or read the entire book without unnecessary repetition. While we believe that the book’s findings will have greater relevance to issues in the developed world, many of the authors have placed their work in an international context to broaden the appeal and applicability of their contribution. Owing to the interdisciplinary nature of the book we believe it will be of particular interest to demographers, geographers, ecologists, landscape planners, rural policy analysts and policy makers, sociologists, and regional planners and managers, and will encourage further discussion, debate and research of this important topic.
