This is a short review of a book that details the rise and fall of civilisations in relation to their forest inventory. If you like or plant trees, this book hurts as it shows a lot of other civilisations knew they were slowly killing themselves through land clearing but did it anyway.

Added to my list, looks interesting!
Make sure to get the new edition, expands on some historical areas.
And for other readers, while it’s historical the book is extremely pro-tree. Don’t let the history part turn you off. It’s one of my favourite tree books because of how closely it intertwines humanity and their necessity.
And for the poor people, there are other ways to get it.
