The Spanish crown's control over valuable sources of shipbuilding timber in Spain, Latin America, and the Philippines was critical for developing and sustaining its maritime empire. This book examines Spain's forest management policies from the sixteenth century through the middle of the eighteenth century, connecting the global imperial level with local lived experiences in forest communities impacted by this manifestation of expanded state power. As home to the early modern world's most extensive forestry bureaucracy, Spain met serious political, technological, and financial limitations while still managing to address most of its timber needs without upending the social balance.Brill's series in the history of the environment ;Volume 4.Forest policySpainHistoryForest managementPolitical aspectsSpainHistoryForests and forestrySpainHistoryForests and forestrySpainColoniesHistoryElectronic books.Forest policyHistory.Forest managementPolitical aspectsHistory.Forests and forestryHistory.Forests and forestryColoniesHistory.634.9/20946Wing John T.891055MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460524203321Roots of empire1990320UNINA
