[edit] TROPICAL RAINFORESTS
This title seeks to give the reader a fresh perspective on the rainforest debate, it provides a variety of perspectives on the complex relationship between society and nature on the rainforest frontiers of Latin America.
Since the 1993 publication of Scholarly Resources's highly acclaimed book Tropical Rainforests: Latin American Nature and Society in Transition, emerging awareness of the plight of the rainforests of Central and South America has catapulted this issue to the forefront of global environmental concerns. As understanding of the ecological importance of this ecostructure has grown, so has the contention between the various groups who have a stake in it. Developers, environmentalists, governments, and the landless poor whose livelihood depends on the rainforest all have contributed to the often contentious debate on how to address this problem. As the issue has grown, so has the need for new information. Addressing this need, editor Susan E. Place gives readers a fresh perspective on the rainforest debate with her revised and updated edition of Tropical Rainforests: Latin American Nature and Society in Transition. Like the first edition, this book provides a variety of perspectives on the complex relationship between society and nature on the rainforest frontiers of Latin America. Containing new articles from experts in various fields and an updated introduction by the editor, this book provides an overview of the complex issues of tropical deforestation, both past and present. It illustrates how understanding the loss of tropical forests cannot begin until the connecting cultural, economic, and political factors that motivate people's relationships with the land are better understood. Place shows that only by looking at the underlying reasons for deforestation can knowledge for this issue be developed. This accessible book will engage readers interested in the environment and Latin America.
