Editorial Reviews

An excellent forest history, thorough and fair, detailed but never dry, factual but illuminated with human touches. - William Linnard, Forest Ecology and Management A magisterial introduction to Cyprus with forestry as its theme, a beacon for those who want to get behind personalities, politics, the sentimental, and the picturesque, to learn, almost incidentally, what makes this island tick. - J. P. H. Myers, Geographical Journal Useful as a case study of the positive role of man's recent management of a fragile renewable resource. It also provides a definitive account of the forested tracts of Cyprus. Its approach is constructive, sympathetic and professional and it should be acquired by any individual or department concerned with human and environmental aspects of resource management. - J. A. Allen, Geography
