In a Dark Wood: A Critical History of the Fight Over Forests in English takes readers on a comprehensive journey through the complex and often contentious relationship between humans and forests. This critical history delves into the social, political, and environmental factors that have shaped the way we perceive and interact with forests over time.

From ancient myths and legends to modern conservation efforts, this book examines the various narratives that have influenced our understanding of forests and the ongoing debates surrounding their management and preservation. Through a critical lens, the author explores the impact of colonization, industrialization, and globalization on forest ecosystems, as well as the role of indigenous communities and grassroots movements in advocating for sustainable forest practices.

With meticulous research and engaging storytelling, In a Dark Wood offers a thought-provoking analysis of the diverse perspectives and conflicting interests that have shaped the fight over forests in English-speaking countries. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in environmental history, conservation policy, or the future of our planet’s forests.
