商品簡介
Kathirithamby-Wells (Cambridge U.) explores the relationship between people and forests in Peninsular Malaysia, where the planet's richest terrestrial ecosystem has collided with the fastest economic transformation experienced in the tropical world. She studies the interplay of history, culture, science, economics and politics to arrive at a holistic interpretation of the continuing relevance of forests to state and society in the tropics.
