What is European Woods and Forests: Studies in Cultural History (Cab International Publication) about?

<p>Woods and forests were the principal source of fuel in Europe for many hundreds of years. In addition, they were crucially important as a source of construction material for a wide range of domestic, agricultural, industrial and military artifacts. Moreover, they were used for grazing, cultivation and hunting. Consequently, the varied landscapes of today are often a result of past management policies which were closely linked to important events and cultural developments in human history.</p> <p>This book is a valuable source of information for historians and conservationists who wish to preserve our cultural heritage. This book is an interdisciplinary work which draws on selected papers presented at an international conference of forest historians organized at The University of Nottingham in September 1996, in association with the British Ecological Society and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations.
