Nature and Nation explores the relations between people and forests
in Peninsular Malaysia where the planet's richest terrestrial
eco-system met head-on with the fastest pace of economic
transformation experienced in the tropical world. It engages the
interplay of history, culture, science, economics and politics to
provide a holistic interpretation of the continuing relevance of
forests to state and society in the moist tropics.
Malaysia has long been singled out for emulation by developing
nations, an accolade contradicted in recent years by concerns over
its capital-, rather than poverty-driven forest depletion. The
Malaysian case supports the call for re-appraisal of entrenched
prescriptions for development that go beyond material needs.
