Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The devastating fire that swept through Los Alamos, New Mexico, in the spring of 2000 may have been caused by one controlled burn gone wild, but it was far from an isolated event. All through the twentieth century, our national forests have been under assault from all sides: first ranchers and loggers laid their claims to our national forests, then recreationists and environmentalists spoke up for their interests. Who are our national forests really for? In this book, leading environmental historians show us what has been happening to these fragile woodlands. Taking us from lumber towns to Indian reservations to grazing lands, Forests under Fire reveals the interaction of Anglos, Hispanics, and Native Americans with the forests of the American Southwest. It examines recent controversies ranging from red squirrel conservation on Mt. Graham to increased tourism in our national forests. These case studies offer insights into human-forest relationships in places such as the Coconino National Forest, the Vallecitos Sustained Yield Unit, and the Gila Wilderness Area while also drawing on issues and concerns about similar biospheres in other parts of the West. Over the past century, forest management has evolved from a field dominated by the "conservationist" perspective—with humans exploiting natural resources-to one that emphasizes biocentrism, in which forests are seen as dynamic ecosystems. Yet despite this progressive shift, the assault on our forests continues through overgrazing of rangelands, lumbering, eroding mountainsides, fire suppression, and threats to the habitats of endangered species. Forests under Fire takes a closer look at the people calling the shots in our national forests, from advocates of timber harvesting to champions of ecosystem management, and calls for a reassessment of our priorities—before our forests are gone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests are alive, filled with rich, biologically complex life forms and the interrelationships of multiple species and materials. Vulnerable to a host of changing conditions in this global era, forests are in peril as never before. New markets in carbon and environmental services attract speculators. In the name of conservation, such speculators attempt to undermine local land control in these desirable areas. Moral Ecology of a Forest provides an ethnographic account of conservation politics, particularly the conflict between Western conservation and Mayan ontological ecology. The difficult interactions of the Maya of central Quintana Roo, Mexico, for example, or the Mayan communities of the Sain Ka’an Biosphere, demonstrate the clashing interests with Western biodiversity conservation initiatives. The conflicts within the forest of Quintana Roo represent the outcome of nature in this global era, where the forces of land grabbing, conservation promotion and organizations, and capitalism vie for control of forests and land. Forests pose living questions. In addition to the ever-thrilling biology of interdependent species, forests raise questions in the sphere of political economy, and thus raise cultural and moral questions. The economic aspects focus on the power dynamics and ideological perspectives over who controls, uses, exploits, or preserves those life forms and landscapes. The cultural and moral issues focus on the symbolic meanings, forms of knowledge, and obligations that people of different backgrounds, ethnicities, and classes have constructed in relation to their lands. The Maya Forest of Quintana Roo is a historically disputed place in which these three questions come together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Forests of Arizona: Prepared by the Southwestern District of the Forest Service About one-half of the fires on Arizona national forests in 1923 were the result of the carelessness of man. The rest were caused by light ning. Of those caused by man nearly two-thirds were due to camp ers and smokers. Much damage to the forests could, therefore, be prevented if persons who go into them would be more careful. The forest administration requests the cooperation of the public, both in preventing fires and in reporting them if they do occur. A large grazing industry is dependent for range upon the national forests of Arizona. In fact, much of the summer range of the State is located upon these forests, to which the cattle naturally drift and the sheep are driven in the spring. About cattle and sheep find range on these mountainous areas. Although there are some very large stockmen using national forest range, the great majority of the grazing permittees are owners of small herds, and many of them have farms in connection with their stock business. The Forest Service encourages the use of the range by this class of stock raisers, and under the Government permit system they are given ample protection for their stock.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arizona's Forests Arizona's landforms and climate are a study in extremes. They range from the hot, flat desert of the south, on which snow rarely falls, to the -foot high place of the snows as the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff were known to the Hopi In dians. North of the desert lie the foothills and low mountains of central Arizona. This rugged topography rises in elevation north ward and ends abruptly at the Mogollon Rim, a great escarpment running diagonally in a northwesterly direction across the center of the State. Beyond this rim romanticized in the writings of Zane Grey as the Tonto Rim the land flattens out to a high plateau that encompasses most of the north ern half of the State. Arizona's forests are mostly found in a wide band along the rim. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
