Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the harmful effects of deforestation that go beyond the obvious. It discusses the reasons why forests have been depleted in the United States, including the role of the mindset and economic systems that have enabled the destruction of forests, treating them as a mine rather than a renewable resource. The author points out how destructive lumbering has led to social and economic instability in many regions. The book explores the negative impacts on communities, including the rise and fall of mushroom towns, the abandonment of farms, and the loss of local industries and tax revenue. It sheds light on the issue of speculation in standing timber and cut-over lands, discussing how this has contributed to overproduction, depressed market conditions, and environmental degradation. The author also discusses the impact of forest depletion on transportation infrastructure, such as the abandonment of railroads, and the resulting decline in the accessibility and economic viability of affected regions. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the complex and far-reaching consequences of deforestation, highlighting the need for a more sustainable approach to forest management and land use.
