Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. this addition to the Jensen/Draffan collection is a decent compendium of facts and arguments about the perils of multi-national, industrial forestry. of particular interest is the time the authors spend discussing the continuing threat to old-growth forests in bc which are some of the last remaining forests of their age in north america. if you are familiar with the struggle to save the forests there will be little new in this book, but it is a good review of the arguments against multi-national forestry companies and their practices and for community-based forestry. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Ever since Gilgamesh cut down the ancient cedar forests of Mesopotamia, civilizations have foundered and collapsed in the wake of widespread deforestation. Today, with three quarters of the world's original forests gone and the pace of cutting, clearing, processing, and pulping ever accelerating, Jensen and Draffan lay bare the stark scenario we face - we being not only people, but the nonhuman fabric of life itself - unless deforestation is slowed and stopped. A must read for anyone who wants to understand the relationship between deforestation and our ecological crisis as well as an essential "handbook" for activists everywhere."--BOOK JACKET.
