"This Very Short Introduction considers the range and dynamics of the ecosystems encompassed in the savanna landscape. Discussing their origin, global distribution, vegetation, and wildlife, Peter Furley illustrates how savannas have shaped human evolution and movements. Given the unrelenting pressures facing these beautiful and dynamic landscapes, he considers their management and conservation, and their future."
