Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Michigan's Natural Resources is primarily a study of Michigan's Big 3 historical natural resources: agriculture, mining, and lumber. Agriculture and mining are two of the oldest industries performed by humans on the planet. They happen to be the only two means of obtaining raw materials to support great civilizations. Mining rock, minerals, and metals have all transformed peoples and cultures from primitive times to advanced civilizations. Another of nature's greatest resources is that of wood and it has served mankind well for shelter, as energy for both warmth and cooking, and for tool-making as well. Historically, Michigan has been an important state in all 3 areas whether it is cherry-growing near Lake Michigan, copper and iron mining in the Upper Peninsula, or lumbering with both soft and hard woods.

Download or read book The Forests of Michigan Revised Ed written by Donald I. Dickmann and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No book currently on bookstore shelves explores, as The Forests of Michigan does, the natural history, ecology, management, economic importance, and use of the rich and varied forests that cover about half of the state's 36.3 million acres. The authors look at the forests, where they are, how they got to be, and their present-day usage, using the story of Michigan forests as a backdrop for the state's history, including its archaeology. The Forests of Michigan explores how the forests came back after the great Wisconsin glacier began to recede over 12,000 years ago, and how they recovered from the onslaught of unrestrained logging and wildfire that, beginning in the mid-1800s, virtually wiped them out. The emphasis of the book is on sustaining for the long term the forests of the state, with a view of sustainability that builds not only upon the lessons learned from native peoples' attitude and use of trees but also on the latest scientific principles of forest ecology and management. Generously illustrated and written in an engaging style, The Forests of Michigan sees the forest and the trees, offering both education and delight. "As forest scientists," the authors note, "we opted for a hearty serving of meat and potatoes; anyone who reads this book with the intention of learning something will not be disappointed. Nonetheless, we do include some anecdotal desserts, too." Donald I. Dickmann is Professor of Forestry at Michigan State University and holds a doctorate from the University of Wisconsin. He is the author of The Culture of Poplars. Larry A. Leefers is Associate Professor in the Department of Forestry at Michigan State University. He holds a doctorate from Michigan State University.
