Forests In Revolutionary France: Conservation, Community, And Conflict, 1669–1848 (Studies In Environment And History)

This book investigates the bitterly contested development of environmental conservation in France from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, suggesting that conflicts over forests between the state, landowning elites, and the peasantry not only reflected escalating demand for this most vital of natural resources but also shaped the country's revolutionary struggles.
