内容简介：
Drawing on a host of international case-studies, this detailed book examines the interactions between forestry and environmental change, from a social, economic and political perspective. It presents novel insights into little-studied topics such as the influence of forest reserves on timber prices, the relationship between forestry and aboriginal populations, and the issues facing forests in transition countries. It also brings together the latest thinking on a wide range of topics from deforestation in temperate and tropical forests to social revolutions in forest management.
