CHOICE Highly Recommended title, 2022!Forest insects play important roles ecologically and economically. They pollinate plants, decompose dead plant and animal tissue, provide food for vertebrates, regulate pest organisms and shape entire landscapes. Some are considered pests, while others provide usable products. Introduced species may become invasive, while the survival of others is threatened.Forest Insects in Europe: Diversity, Functions and Importance has been written not only with professional entomologists in mind, but also for nature lovers generally. The descriptions of the various roles insects play in forest ecosystems are intended to be easily comprehensible, but still scientific. The book is richly illustrated with attractive photos and contains 580 fascinating colour images of more than 300 different insect and spider species. The German edition was awarded the Prix Moulines by the Swiss Entomological Society in 2019.
Forest Conservation and Sustainability in Indonesia
Bernice Maxton-Lee
TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2021

Despite carefully constructed conservation interventions, deforestation in Indonesia is not being stopped. This book identifies why large-scale international forest conservation has failed to reduce deforestation in Indonesia and considers why key stakeholders have not responded as expected to these conservation interventions. The book maps the history of deforestation in Indonesia in the context of global political economy, exploring the relationship between international trade, the interests and ideology behind global sustainability programmes and the failures of forest conservation in Indonesia. Global economic and political ideologies are shown to have profoundly shaped deforestation. The author argues that the same forces continue to prevent positive outcomes. Case study chapters analyse three major international programmes: Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), the Norway-Indonesia bilateral partnership, and the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) in Indonesia. The findings provide insight into the failures of global climate change policy and suggest how the book’s theoretical model can be used to analyse other complex environmental problems.The book is a useful reference for students of environmental science and policy, political theory, international relations, development and economics. It will also be of interest to forestry professionals and practitioners working in NGOs.

Forest as Commemoration in Jewish-Israeli Memory Culture
Maria Piekarska-Baronet
TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2026

Situated within the broadly understood subfield of environmental memory studies, this book explores Israeli forests as spaces of commemoration. It investigates their significance in the Jewish-Israeli memory culture over the last century, as well as their role as a recurrent form of environmental memorial, understood as a commemoration that uses the organic as both the symbolic and the building substance. In doing so, it reveals the roles that the natural environment plays in memory practices: as a carrier of symbolic meanings, but also as an acting, more-than-human element of memorial spaces. Employing the perspective of environmental hermeneutics, the analysis is grounded in the realities of the Israel/Palestine conflict and reflects on the convoluted intersection of ideological, political, socio-economic, personal, and institutional dimensions of local tree planting. Simultaneously, it draws from instances of arboreal commemorations found in other geographical and cultural contexts, situating the practice of memorial forests within the wider framework of environmental memory and its associated social practices. In this way, it offers instructive insights for other cases of arboreal remembrance, highlighting both the potential benefits and risks linked to environmental memorials. Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach, this fascinating and ground-breaking volume will engage scholars and researchers from a wide range of disciplines including Memory Studies, Cultural Geography, Israel Studies, and Environmental Humanities.

Dying alone in the dark is the easy way out of Forest Creek. But psychologist Maureen “Mo” Yamaguchi refuses to take her secrets to the grave and this may be just the opportunity she needs—if she doesn’t die first. Naked and afraid, Mo forces herself through the cold dark forest, contemplating her next move. It will take much more than a fierce intellect to survive the night at Forest Creek. “Forest Creek never pauses for breath. It seethes and shoves you off the edge, down dark mountains, and through merciless cold, until the bitter yet perfect end.” “Unforgettable characters written with a caustic wit and an unsparing voice that will haunt readers long after they’ve closed the book.” “A thriller so real it hurts.”
