Fashioning Australia's Forests -by- John Dargavel. A review of Australia's forest management from pre-European times, demonstrating that the physical structure of forests, and our conceptions of them, are socially constructed; the author weaves together the story of industrial development and forest use with the slow acceptance of the case for forest conservancy, and shows how various 'resource regimes' evolved, fashioning the forests in different ways: ecologically, spatially, and socially; he then describes the challenges to these established patters since the 1970s due to industrial restructuring, woodchip exports, unsustainable harvesting and the rise of the environmental movement; the book concludes with a chapter on the prospects for the forests, their industries and workers in a highly uncertain future (OUP, Melbourne, 1995) ISBN 019553526X.
