Summary

"This is an immensely thought-provoking and entertaining book. It makes a compelling case for an approach to the rain forest that eschews environmental fundamentalism in favor of a rich and multilayered understanding of the social complexities of rain forest practice and representation."--Raymond L. Bryant, author of "The Political Ecology of Forestry in Burma, 1824-1994"
