A quarter the size of the Amazon Forest, and the most densely populated region in Brazil, the Atlantic Forest is now the most endangered in the world. It contains a great diversity of life forms, some of them found nowhere else, as well as the country's largest cities, plantations, mines, and industries. Continual clearing is ravaging most of the forested remnants.Dean opens his story with the hunter-gatherers of twelve thousand years ago and takes it up to the 1990s-through the invasion of Europeans in the sixteenth century; the ensuing devastation wrought by such developments as gold and diamond mining, slash-and-burn farming, coffee planting, and industrialization; and the desperate battles between conservationists and developers in the late twentieth century.Based on a great range of documentary and scientific resources,With Broadax and Firebrand is an enormously ambitious book. More than a history of a tropical forest, or of the relationship between forest and humans, it is also a history of Brazil told from an environmental perspective. Dean writes passionately and movingly, in the fierce hope that the story of the Atlantic Forest will serve as a warning of the terrible costs of destroying its great neighbor to the west, the Amazon Forest. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aDeforestation$zBrazil$zAtlantic Coast$xHistory 606 $aRain forests$zBrazil$zAtlantic Coast$xHistory 606 $aNature$xEffect of human beings on$zBrazil$zAtlantic Coast$xHistory 606 $aForestry$2HILCC 606 $aEarth & Environmental Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aDeforestation$xHistory$zAtlantic Coast$zBrazil 606 $aRain forests$xHistory$zBrazil$zAtlantic Coast 606 $aNature$xEffect of human beings on$xHistory$zBrazil$zAtlantic Coast 607 $aAtlantic Coast (Brazil)$xEnvironmental conditions$xHistory 615 0$aDeforestation$xHistory. 615 0$aRain forests$xHistory. 615 0$aNature$xEffect of human beings on$xHistory. 615 7$aForestry 615 7$aEarth & Environmental Sciences 615 0$aDeforestation$xHistory 615 0$aRain forests$xHistory 615 0$aNature$xEffect of human beings on$xHistory 676 $a304.2/8/098109152 700 $aDean$b Warren$01002316 702 $aSchwartz$b Stuart B 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247958303316 996 $aWith broadax and firebrand$92300459 997 $aUNISA
