Description
  Publication Date: March 4, 2014
  Forests are in
decline, and the threats these outposts of nature face—including deforestation, degradation, and
fragmentation—are the result of human culture. Or are they? This volume calls these assumptions into question,
revealing forests’ past, present, and future conditions to be the joint products of a host of natural and
cultural forces. Moreover, in many cases the coalescence of these forces—from local ecologies to competing
knowledge systems—has masked a significant contemporary trend of woodland resurgence, even in the forests of the
tropics.
  Focusing on the history and current use of woodlands from India to the Amazon, The Social Lives of
Forests attempts to build a coherent view of forests sited at the nexus of nature, culture, and development. With
chapters covering the effects of human activities on succession patterns in now-protected Costa Rican forests; the
intersection of gender and knowledge in African shea nut tree markets; and even the unexpectedly rich urban woodlands of
Chicago, this book explores forests as places of significant human action, with complex institutions, ecologies, and
economies that have transformed these landscapes in the past and continue to shape them today. From rain forests to
timber farms, the face of forests—how we define, understand, and maintain them—is changing.
  
  Reviews
  “The Social Lives of Forests offers
sophisticated, positive perspectives on forests around the world. The authors’ stimulating ideas address
important questions of forest dynamics and management. They also apply to the creation of working landscapes that offer
space for people and nature everywhere.”(Tobias Plieninger Science)
 

  “A new book of essays, by academics from several nations, . . . attempts to reverse the conventional
wisdom about the state of the world’s forests. The Social Lives of Forests . . . captures an emergent trend in
research: that while deforestation does occur, there is roughly as much reforestation occurring. While the writers say
more work needs to be done, they say that so far, the evidence either for or against net deforestation is inconclusive.
This, of course, has implications for forestry and agricultural policy.”(Rob McKenzie
National (UAE))
  
  “The Social Lives of Forests should have a strong and positive influence
on the fields of ecology, conservation, environmental history, and many social sciences. A clear message emerges that
established views and conservation approaches based on seeing people as separate from nature—or viewing the land
as divided into the pristine and wild versus the humanized and despoiled—are erroneous and doomed to generate
unsuccessful policies and approaches to stewardship. These are not novel ideas, but this volume is unusual and valuable
in making a forceful case for their validity based on work from many different landscapes and cultures and a great
diversity of environmental and historical conditions.”(David R. Foster director of the
Harvard Forest, Harvard University)
  
  “Forests are complex ecological entities, but they
are also cultural, historical, political, and social, all at once. Above all, say the contributors to this excellent
volume, forests are working landscapes with multiple lives and livelihoods. The Social Lives of Forests brings together
a posse of the world’s leading scholars of forests who challenge us to think about trees and people in entirely
new ways. This book is an exhilarating and intellectually capacious exploration of forests as biomes and as artifacts. A
bravura piece of social science scholarship.”(Michael Watts University of California,
Berkeley)
  
  “Very engaging. The Social Lives of Forests offers a must-read, highly
interdisciplinary perspective yielding fresh, rich insight and incisive accounts of a global swath of sustainability
issues and politics surrounding forests and their current and future management, markets, policies, cultures, and
conservation along with their incredible past histories. A joy.”(Karl Zimmerer
Pennsylvania State University and editor of "Globalization and New Geographies)
  
  “An
all-too-uncommon union of the hard and social sciences, The Social Lives of Forests is a groundbreaking work that
reframes both the history of the world’s forest lands and the debate over their future. Stressing the
centuries-long human role in the creation and maintenance of wooded landscapes, and their relation to both rural and
urban life in the globalized world of today and in the past, the articles in this book collectively provide a new way to
think about forest ecosystems and their inhabitants. This is a book that will surprise and inform historians,
ecologists, foresters, environmentalists—and anyone who cares about the forests around us.”(Charles C. Mann author of "1491: New Revelations of the Americas before Columbus")
