CNX 168 - Forests, Wood & Culture

Description
Forests are the largest terrestrial ecosystems on earth and have shaped human cultures worldwide for thousands of years. Forests affect our lives in many ways, but the most powerful impacts have been through the remarkable properties of wood. We will explore ideas across many disciplines, including ecology, history, and philosophy, as we seek to understand (1) how wood and forest geography have affected us, (2) how we have altered forests globally, and (3) what our multi-faceted relationships with trees suggests about our values and our attitudes toward the natural world.
