Arising initially from a conference, the papers published here have
been integrated into book form to provide information on human
activities and the tropical rainforest in the past and present, and
on the possible future of the rainforest, in a unique way. Other
books have considered some, but not all, of these themes; however,
none has stressed the continuity of change over time and its
possible outcome for the people of the forest as well as for the
forest itself. Because of the approach taken, this book should
appeal across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Indeed a prime
aim has been to suggest that rainforest, because of its complexity
and the complexity of people-rainforest relationships throughout
time, deserves study from a broad perspective. This book poses more
questions than answers about the rainforest and it is hoped that it
will encourage readers to think about the rainforest in a wider way
than hitherto. This book is aimed at geographers (physical and
human), social anthropologists, archaeologists, pedologists,
foresters and tropical botanists and will be of value to graduates
of various disciplines setting out to research the rainforest.
