    Forestry has been witness to some dramatic changes in recent years, with several Western countries now moving away from the traditional model of regarding forests merely as sources of wood. Rather these countries are increasingly recognizing their forests as multi-purpose resources with roles which go far beyond simple economics. In this innovative book, Sylvie Nail uses England as a case study to explore the relationships between forests, society and public perceptions, raising important questions about forest policy and management both now and in the future.

    From the reviews: "In this book the Author uses England as a case study to explore the relationships between forests, society and public perceptions … . Each of the chapters is well-referenced and provides the readers with ample background materials to explore in more depth any of the methods or studies discussed. … The intended audiences are the scientific and resource management communities, comprised of forest researchers, conservation biologists, and forest management professionals." (Francesco Ferrini, Advances in Horticultural Science, Vol. 23 (1), 2009) “This is the fourth volume in the Springer World Forests series, aimed at ‘advanced students’ and professionals interested in ‘interrelations between forests, society and the environment’. This reviewer is in both categories, the target … well hit. The author also suggests that England is a leader in urban and social forestry and that a wider international readership may find it useful. … this may be a good moment to read a book on the social background. Overall, this is comprehensive, substantial and balanced … .” (Alec Dauncey, International Forestry Review, September, 2010)
