520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. This provocative new book presents the results of twenty years of research on deforestation in the Amazon. By carefully observing the changing character of human settlements and their association with deforestation over such a prolonged period, the author is able to reject much of the "perceived wisdom". He skillfully dissects various models of deforestation and provides hard evidence on what is myth and what is reality.
