Review
In the world of landscape protection, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs), have been regarded as the Cinderellas but, without doubt, this book gives them the full Crown Prince treatment! And it is so timely...The book contains practically all one needs to know about ANOBs...This book will be a must in all educational institutions dealing with the theme of protected landscapes...Thank you, Edward Holdoway and Gerald Smart for being such excellent catalysts-where do we go from here?.

Book Description
Covers the history and development of AONBs (Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty) in England and Wales set in the context of protected landscapes generally in the UK. It focuses on the evolution of policies towards them, the arrangements for their administration, conservation and management, the land management and planning context within which they have evolved, and the adequacy of the proposals that have been put forward for their long-term well being. Throughout the analysis there are numerous references to the many initiatives that have been and are being taken by ANOB managers and others to secure their future. The book features a series of case studies of individual AONBs to illustrate the main points being made in the text.
