Pacific Forest explores the use of the forests of the Solomon
Islands from the prehistoric period up to the end of 1997, when
much of the indigenous commercial forest had been logged. It is the
first study of the history of the forest in any Pacific Island; the
first analysis of the indigenous and British colonial perceptions
of the Melanesian forest; and the first critical analysis for this
region, not only of colonial forest policies but of later policies
and practices which made the governments of independence exploiters
of their own people. Pacific Forest addresses a range of evidence
drawn from several disciplines, and is a major contribution to
environmental history.
