Tsouvalis, Judith:

A Critical Geography of Britain's State Forests.

Kirkegaards Antikvariat

Oxford University Press, 2000. Publishers hardcover, w jacket. XII, 227 pages. Very good clean copy.

First edition. - "Attitudes in Britain to forests and trees are changing. Plantation forests - the product of the 'strategic reserve of timber' vision that held sway in the early twentieth century, and was turned into a physical reality by the Forestry Commission - are no longer fashionable. Today's forests are required to be sustainable, multi-purpose, and biologically diverse. They are expected to possess a 'spirit of place', be aesthetically pleasing, and help alleviate poverty and social exclusion in cities and remote rural areas. This book traces the changing fortune of forests and trees in Britain and people's changing relations with them. It investigates traditional woodland management practices, and considers how they came to be supplanted by scientific forestry knowledge and methods. It examines the development of the Forestry Commission and its body of foresters, looks at the symbolic function of forests and trees, and assesses the claim that present day forestry has become a postmodern phenomenon. A Critical Geography of Britain's State Forests will prove useful not only to foresters and nature conservationists, but to all those who are interested in how human beings socially and biophysically construct the environment, driven by a constant urge to find their place and meaning within it."

Sage Publications Pvt. Ltd, 1995. Hardcover w jacket. 348 pp. "This book is concerned with community participation in the slums of Bombay and examines slum-dwellers' needs for housing and basic services. Vandana Desai focuses on two issues: What impact does community mobilization have on the process of slum upgrading? What is the extent of participation and how does it affect the services provided? The author seeks to understand how the housing and basic service needs of the urban poor are articulated and fulfilled, their involvement in community organizations and the role that the community and its leaders play in influencing state action".
