Forests and Chases England and Wales C. 1500 - C. 1850 : Towards a Survey and Analysis (Second Edition)

"Faced now with the challenge of reorganising rural policies to meet massive economic, social and intellectual changes, we urgently need to rediscover our forests, to learn environmental lessons and better understand ourselves and the local worlds we inhabit. In this volume, the result of a highly successful conference in the 450th anniversary year of St John's College, Oxford, a group of historians, geographers, archaeologists, ecologists and environmental managers suggest how we may begin."--BOOK JACKET.
