Tropical Rainforests : Latin American Nature and Society in Transition (Jaguar Books on Latin America (Paper), No 2) Paperback / softback
by Susan E. Place
Part of the Jaguar Books on Latin America series
Paperback / softback
Description
This work aims to help the student, scholar or general reader understand the many issues involved in saving Latin America's endangered rainforests.
The salvage of this vast ecosystem - so necessary for survival on this planet - depends upon recognition of the complex interplay of political and economic interests which have led to the forest's almost-inevitable destruction.
The 30 articles are culled from many different fields, including natural history, sociology, history, anthropology, economics and fiction.
They are divided into four parts: perceptions (of the rainforest); explanations (of the destruction of the rainforests); why save the rainforest?; and prospects for development (alternative futures for the rainforest).
The author's introduction and notes preceding each article provide an organised context for each essay.
