Now Open Access: Nature Divided, by Hoffman & Ashwell (2001)

PCU Director, Prof Timm Hoffman’s classic book, titled 'Nature Divided', on Land Degradation in South Africa, which he co-authored with colleague Alice Ashwell in 2001 is now available as an open access resource. 

This was the first review of land degradation since the 1994 democratic election and reflected conditions in the entire country. It was based on two years of consultation with relevant stakeholders including those involved in agriculture and environmental conservation. The book was previously available in hardcopy form only, but following a transfer of ownership of UCT Press, it has since become open access. 

The more extensive unpublished report on which the book is based can be found here.
