From the Paper:

"Of the five articles explored in detail here, Bronson's and Noble's "Measuring the Effectiveness of Park Canada's Environmental Management System" would have perhaps the most limited audience base in that, it may be argued, geographers and environmentalists would be those readers primarily interested in its quantitative case study of the environmental support aspects of park operations in Riding Mountain National Park. This article's assessment of the effectiveness of the environmental management system of one Canadian National Park is, of the five articles discussed here, the one that seems most reflective of the popular limited conception of geography as a discipline."
