Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive study of forests and the management of forest resources, published under the authority of the Chief Conservator of Forests. It presents a history of forest management and working plans in United Provinces, India. The author discusses the evolution of forest management in the region, the different types of forest growth, and the techniques used to manage and protect them. The book's thematic depth explores the idea that forests are essential to human civilization, and that their destruction can have severe consequences. The author presents a historical case study of the region's forests and how their destruction was linked to political changes, showing that the relationship between humans and forests is dynamic and often unpredictable. The book concludes with a discussion of the present-day management of forests in India, arguing for an approach that balances the need for conservation with the need for economic development.
