Clearcutting the Pacific Rain Forest: Production, Science, and Regulation

By Richard A. Rajala

Book Overview

Clearcutting the Pacific Rain Forest integrates class, environmental and political issues to provide a unique perspective on the controversy surrounding clearcutting and other forest practices. By examining the changes that took place in logging as a result of technological and managerial innovation as well as regulatory initiatives, Richard A. Rajala argues that the development of forest practice served corporate rather than social or ecological ends.
