But today the world's great forests confront more ominous threats than ever before. This visionary book is the first to examine forests consisting of oaks, maples, hickories, beeches, chestnuts, birches and ecologically similar animals and plants on three continents-East Asia, Europe, and North America-to reveal their common origin back in time, the ecological patterns they share, and the approaches to conservation that have been attempted on their behalf. Although these forests face common problems, threats due to human activities vary. Different land use and agricultural practices on the three continents, as well as different attitudes about what is worth preserving, have led to strikingly different approaches to forest conservation. Robert Askins explores the strengths and weaknesses of conservation efforts across the continents and concludes that the ideal strategy for the future will blend the best ideas from each. 606 $aForest conservation$zEast Asia 606 $aForest conservation$zNorth America 606 $aForest conservation$zEurope 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aForest conservation 615 0$aForest conservation 615 0$aForest conservation 676 $a333.7516 700 $aAskins$b Robert$01042410 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464101603321 996 $aSaving the world's deciduous forests$92466621 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02270aam 2200517I 450 001 9910710526503321 005 20160922100248.0 024 8 $aGOVPUB-C13-2517d57c43c0f8fefab6a628d3a7618d 035 $a(CKB)5470000002478034 035 $a(OCoLC)958933665 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002478034 100 $a20160922d2002 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aPersistent organochlorine pollutants and elements determined in tissues of rough-toothed dolphins (steno bredanensis) banked from a mass stranding event /$fJohn R.
