By carefully examining the impact of regional political formations and biogeographic processes on land and forest management, this book probes the interrelated social and biophysical factors that influenced landscape change.
Through a cultural analysis of powerful landscape representations, Modern Forests reveals the contention, debates, and uncertainty that persisted for two hundred years of colonial rule as forests were identified, classified, and brought under different regimes of control and were transformed to serve a broad array of imperial and local interests."--BOOK JACKET.  aARC  aForest managementzIndiazBengal.927240  aForest policyzIndiazBengal.927241  aDepartment of ArchitecturecGeneral Stacks  2ddccBK  c39763d39763  00112ddc4070aARCbARCcGENd2018-07-15eDepartment of Architecturel0o634.9095414 SIVp3010033329r2018-07-15t1w2018-07-15yBK
