Editorial : "Increasing economic globalization over the last two generations has profoundly altered international trade in forest products and domestic forest resources management and consumption across a range of developing and developed countries. The range of goods and services that society expects from our forests, the nature of forest products distribution and forest products use, have all been profoundly altered. In part owing to this complexity, there remain significant gaps in understanding and explaining the myriad of influences. This book sheds significant light on these gaps by making clearer just who controls the world’s forest resources in the 21st century; how forest resources are processed (in particular by multi-nationals such as IKEA); and the expanding ways in which society uses forest resources. Owing to this focus, this book covers a wide range of issues critical to the understanding of changes in forest resources management for this century and beyond. I strongly
The overarching contribution of this book is a review and assessment of the current and future impacts of globalization on the world’s forests. The work has been developed by the "Resources for the Future" Task Force for the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO). Four key themes are addressed: the effect of globalization on forests (including future trade flows); plantations as the primary source of forest products and its consequences, including plant breeding and forest health; the effect of new products such as bio-products and markets on forests; and the emergence of forest ecosystem services and their impact on the landscape and human communities. These four themes are examined in detail to map out the impacts of these trends for forests throughout the world and at multiple scales, and how forest research needs to be adapted to address these trends. Overall, the volume provides a major synthesis of current thinking and kn
After reading the two books from CSIP, I started buying from Bill Hinbern's World Famous Super Strength Training. It's fast paced and if you're used to a traditional style of writing (like Austen or Bronte) you'll find it a light and easy read. A necessity for anyone considering the design of a high-order modulator. The reader will benefit from the many helpful insights about the changing face of Yankee agriculture over the centuries. Bought this book for my train-loving husband. I really like that it is specific to Allan Bradley products. Until the recent publication of my book The Ultimate Food Allergy Cookbook and Survival Guide, Allergy Cooking with Ease was my best seller.
I DO understand where Kila is "coming from" and sympathize. When he retired he went on to teach at KU. My favorite recipes from the CROCKPOT section are Tropical Tilapia, Baked Cashew Chicken, No Flour Chocolate Lava Cake and Cheese Crisps. The unique perspective of Hannes Alfven. I have the latest Am
