Frontmatter -- Contents -- List of Photographs -- Adirondack Species Mentioned in the Text -- Organizations and Terms -- Preface -- Introduction -- The Human / Nature Relationship -- Woods and Woodspeople -- Community and Conflict -- Epilogue: Fire and Water -- Appendix: National and International Examples of Regional Land Use Planning -- Bibliography -- Index
Summary: Attitudes about land use, Catherine Henshaw Knott suggests, may reflect profound differences in class, religion, and life experience, pitting urban Americans who see nature at risk against rural Americans whose lives are dominated by nature's forces. She documents the thoughts and feelings of people whose lives are intimately connected to the forest, including loggers, trappers, craftspeople, and guides, as well as tree farmers and maple syrup producers. After describing the key players in the conflict and chronicling battles and bridge-building between stake-holders, Knott concludes that the participation of local people in decision making is the only process that can shift an increasingly hostile cycle toward resolution.
