Introduction to World Forestry

by Jack Westoby

Book Overview

The economic, cultural and ecological role of trees and forests is crucial. Yet not only are few of the world's forests managed, but on the contrary, the prevailing modes of planting and felling are devoid of sense or purpose - in the short-term interests of the few, and the long-term interests of nobody. Introduction to World Forestry', covers all aspects of the world's forests, past, present and future.
