Strangely Like War: The Global Assault on Forests (Politics of the Living Books)
A contemporary view of the effects of wood, as used for building and fuel, and of deforestation on the development of civilization.
Until the ascendancy of fossil fuels, wood has been the principal fuel and building material from the dawn of civilization. Its abundance or scarcity greatly shaped, as A Forest Journey ably relates, the culture, demographics, economy, internal and external politics, and technology of successive societies over the millennia.Country | USA |
