    Better Land Husbandry: Re-Thinking Approaches to Land Improvement and the Conservation of Water and Soil
    (1997) Shaxson, Francis; Tiffen, Mary; Wood, Adrian; Turton, Cathryn
    "Soil erosion has conventionally been perceived as the chief cause of land degradation, yet the limited effectiveness and poor uptake of widely promoted physical and biological anti-erosion methods challenges this logic. An alternative perception focusing on prior land damage - notably to soil cover, architecture and fertility - permits an holistic, farmer-centred approach which has generated positive response to date."
