Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses humans' complex relationship with forests and how this has changed over time. The author examines the scientific, social, and political factors that have contributed to the emergence of 'new perspectives' in forest management. The book explores the historical evolution of forestry, taking into account the beliefs, management practices, and use of forests predominant in different eras. It argues that current 'new perspectives' are not fundamentally new concepts but rather a response to a range of factors, from the ecological awareness of the 20th century to the public's increased recreational use of forests. The book presents a nuanced understanding of the challenges facing contemporary forest management and provides a comprehensive overview of the research agenda needed to address them. Ultimately, this book is a call for a more holistic approach to forest management, recognizing the interconnectedness of forest ecosystems and the diverse values that society places on them.
