{"product_id":"the-forests-of-michigan-revised-donald-i-dickmann-9780472036530","title":"The Forests of Michigan, Revised Ed.","description":"Completely revised and updated, this new edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Forests of Michigan\u003c\/i\u003e takes a comprehensive look at the natural history, ecology, management, economic importance, and use of the rich and varied forests that cover about half of Michigan's 36.3 million acres. The book explores how the forests regrew after the great Wisconsin glacier began to recede over 12,000 years ago, and how they recovered from the onslaught of unrestrained logging and wildfire that, beginning in the mid-1800s, virtually wiped them out. The emphasis of the book is on long-term efforts to sustain the state's forests, with a view of sustainability that builds not only upon the lessons learned from native peoples' attitude and use of trees, but also on the latest scientific principles of forest ecology and management. Generously illustrated and written in an engaging style, \u003ci\u003eThe Forests of Michigan\u003c\/i\u003e sees the forest and the trees, offering both education and delight. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald I.
