| Summary |
"A greatly revised and expanded version of the author's acclaimed Understanding Forests, this book offers a clear and comprehensive survey of forest history and management practices in North America and the world. Berger draws upon diverse sources in science, politics, economics, law, and anthropology to argue that ecology should be the driving force behind domestic and international forest management." "An in-depth and wholly readable account, Forests Forever issues a call to arms for all those concerned with saving, restoring, preserving, and better managing the world's forests today in an expanding "green" marketplace."--BOOK JACKET |
