Within this broad area live roughly a million residents whose lives are intimately associated with the forest ecosystem and whose individual stories are closely linked to the region's cultural and environmental history. The fourteen engaging essays in Nature and Culture in the Northern Forest effectively explore the relationships among place, work, and community in this complex landscape. Together they serve as a stimulating introduction to the interdisciplinary study of this unique regioAmerican land and life series.Human ecologyNortheastern StatesHuman beingsEffect of environment onNortheastern StatesLandscapesSocial aspectsNortheastern StatesCommunity lifeNortheastern StatesRegionalismNortheastern StatesForests and forestryNortheastern StatesNortheastern StatesIntellectual lifeNortheastern StatesIn literatureNortheastern StatesEnvironmental conditionsNortheastern StatesRural conditionsElectronic books.Human ecologyHuman beingsEffect of environment onLandscapesSocial aspectsCommunity lifeRegionalismForests and forestry304.20974Cenkl Pavel1971-919936MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457981703321Nature and culture in the northern forest2221590UNINA
