On the Forests of Tropical Asia: Lest the memory fade

This is the first book to describe the forests of the entire tropical Asian region, based on Peter Ashton’s working field experience of over 55 years. Integrates the several published accounts of different parts of the region into a unified presentation and understanding. Lavishly illustrated and written in a clear style which does not assume prior understanding of the several disciplines involve. Comprehensive glossary. Accessible to the (serious) student and non-specialist. Provides a reasoned account of the unique albeit diverse human history of forest interaction in tropical Asia, culminating in a set of proposals aimed at ameliorating current destructive trends.
