I am pleased to announce the release of my book, “Resilient Forest Management,” published by Oxford University Press. While sustainability remains aspirational, changing values, shifts in climate, accelerating natural disturbances, and trade barriers call for a new approach to forest stewardship. Building on the principles of complex adaptive systems, this book provides a roadmap for progressive forestry in uncertain times, supported by several examples and case studies. Attention is paid to the management of protected areas, agricultural woodlands, and the urban forest as well as to multi-purpose and industrial forestlands. See the Read More below for more details and a table of contents. Suitable as a textbook or as an armchair read, this book is available for purchase as a Google Play ebook, and in paperback and hardcover versions through on-line and local booksellers, or directly from the publisher.
