About the book >.>.> Long before man strode Planet Earth plants had been flourishing for millions of years. As human civilisations evolved they were able to discover and benefit from the riches of the forest. Today it would be almost inconceivable to relate human history without paying tribute to the debt that we owe forests and their products. Wood has served us practically and aesthetically in just about every aspect of living from our humble beginnings until the present day. It has also provided an accurate barometer of the rise and fall of nations. Those that have neglected their forests or in their hasty greed have failed to nourish and protect these great natural assets have declined. (MP)
