A History of the Native Woods of Scotland 1500-1920 – Paperback

This book is a superb blend of social history, economic history and environmental history. -- Robert A. Lambert * Journal of Scottish Historical Studies * At last the light of scholarship is shed on the subject in this enthralling book... This past has been brilliantly recreated by TC Smout, Alan Macdonald and Fiona Watson, and perhaps we can now say that the importance of Scotland's native woodlands is beginning to be properly recognised. -- Hugh G Miller, Emeritus Professor of Forestry, University of Aberdeen * The Review * This well-produced book… has been a great pleasure for me to read and, indeed, I wish it had been written years ago so I could have recommended it during my course on Quaternary paleoecology… Every one of the colour plates is appropriate and attractive.…I stress again my admiration of this book." -- James H Dickson
