While economic and political dimensions of forest controversies have been closely studied, the anthropological perspective provided by this book is novel, and important. -- Stephen Bocking, Professor of Environmental Studies at Trent University, author of Ecologists and Environmental Politics: A History of Contemporary Ecology An excellent piece of ethnographic analysis of value not only to scholars interested in environmental issues but to those working in the wider field of human ecology and in related areas of identity, political process, emotion, science, and the general construction of cultural conventions. -- Kay Milton, Reader in Social Anthropology at Queen's University Belfast, author of Environmentalism and Cultural Theory: Exploring the Role of Anthropology in Environmental Discourse and Loving Nature: Towards an Ecology of Emotion This is an excellent work, and is essential reading for those engaged in the sociology of natural resources (a term contested by some), and perhaps for environmental sociologists more broadly. As someone who has a cross-appointment in a Faculty of Forestry, I think this should be required reading for students of forestry. However, I think it should also have broader appeal beyond the academy, to those citizens who are interested in the conflict over old-growth forests. -- David Tindall * Canadian Journal of Sociology, October 2003 * This is an excellent work, and is essential reading for those engaged in the sociology of natural resources (a term contested by some), and perhaps for environmental sociologists more broadly.
