Nature and Nation: Forests and Development in Peninsular Malaysia


Jeyamalar Kathirithamby-Wells
 
 
Nature and Nation explores the relations between people and forests in Peninsular Malaysia where the planet's richest terrestrial eco-system met head-on with the fastest pace of economic transformation experienced in the tropical world. It engages the interplay of history, culture, science, economics and politics to provide a holistic interpretation of the continuing relevance of forests to state and society in the moist tropics.

This is a major contribution to the forest history of Peninsular Malaysia.
