On the Forests of Tropical Asia

Integrates the several published accounts of different parts of the region into a unified presentation and understanding. Lavishly illustrated and written in a clear style which does not assume prior understanding of the several disciplines involve. Comprehensive glossary. Accessible to the (serious) student and non-specialist. Provides a reasoned account of the unique albeit diverse human history of forest interaction in tropical Asia, culminating in a set of proposals aimed at ameliorating current destructive trends.
