Old Growth in a New World untangles the complexities of the old growth concept and the parallel complexity of old-growth policy and management. It brings together more than two dozen contributors--ecologists, economists, sociologists, managers, historians, silviculturists, environmentalists, timber producers, and philosophers--to offer a broad suite of perspectives on changes that have occurred in the valuing and management of old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest over the past thirty years |
