The Cultivated Forest: People and Woodlands in Asian History by Ian M. Miller (review).

"The Cultivated Forest: People and Woodlands in Asian History" is a collection of essays edited by Ian M. Miller, Bradley Camp Davis, Brian Lander, and John S. Lee. The book explores the complex relationship between humans and forests in Asia throughout history. The essays cover a range of topics, including deforestation, silviculture, forest resource dispute resolution, and the impact of different political and cultural systems on forest management. The collection highlights the importance of both ecosystem sustainability and social sustainability in ensuring the well-being of both human societies and the natural environment. While the book provides valuable insights into Asian forest history, some reviewers question the editors' attempt to create a unified framework for Asian forest history and suggest alternative frameworks for future research.
