Green Gold: The Forest Industry in British Columbia, Patricia Marchak
Автор: Yoshiya Iwai Название: Forestry and the Forest Industry in Japan ISBN: 0774808837 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780774808835 Издательство: Wiley EDC Рейтинг: Цена: 44610.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание:
In recent years, Japan, like many other forest-dependent nations, has been facing difficult times: forest self-sufficiency is low; unplanted areas after harvesting are increasing; and forest industries and companies are losing international competitiveness in the global market.
Such challenges, however, are not unique to Japan but are relevant - and all too familiar - to forest industry stakeholders around the world. This book, representing the work of distinguished Japanese scholars, is the first comprehensive English-language overview of forestry, forest management, and the forest products industry in Japan. Chapters address the biological and physical evolution of the forest, forest-dependent industries, the social impact of changes in forest utilization, current trends in the forest estate, and the relationship between urban population and rural forest land.
Forestry and the Forest Industry in Japan will be welcomed by scholars, students, and policy makers in the areas of forest policy, international trade, international forestry, and forest products marketing.

Автор: Gordon Hak Название: Capital and Labour in the British Columbia Forest Industry, 1934-74 ISBN: 0774813083 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780774813082 Издательство: Wiley EDC Рейтинг: Цена: 32020.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: The history of British Columbia’s economy in the twentieth century is inextricably bound to the development of the forest industry. In this comprehensive study, Gordon Hak approaches the forest industry from the perspectives of workers and employers, examining the two institutions that structured the relationship during the Fordist era: the companies and the unions. He relates daily routines of production and profit-making to broader forces of unionism, business ideology, ecological protest, technological change, and corporate concentration. The struggle of the small-business sector to survive in the face of corporate growth, the history of the industry on the Coast and in the Interior, the transformations in capital-labour relations during the period, government forest policy, and the forest industry’s encounter with the emerging environmental movement are all considered in this eloquent analysis.

Описание: For more than three decades, British Columbia's old growth forestshave been a major source of political conflict. In Talk andLog, Jeremy Wilson presents a comprehensive account of the rise ofthe wilderness movement, examines the forest industry's politicalstrategies, and analyzes the inner workings of the policy process. Heilluminates the forces behind controveries that have divided BritishColumbians, preoccupied the provincial government, and drawn theattention of people across Canada and the world.

Автор: Roger Hayter Название: Flexible Crossroads: The Restructuring of British Columbia`s Forest Economy ISBN: 077480775X ISBN-13(EAN): 9780774807753 Издательство: Wiley EDC Рейтинг: Цена: 99530.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: British Columbia's forest economy is at a crucial crossroads. Its survival, Roger Hayter argues, rests on its ability to remain flexible and open to innovation – a future by no means assured given recent policy initiatives and the current contested nature of British Columbia's forests. Flexible Crossroads looks at the contemporary restructuring of British Columbia's forest economy, demonstrating how both resource dynamics – the transition from old growth to managed forests – and industrial dynamics – changing technology and global market forces – have shaped this transformation. Conceptually, the restructuring is portrayed as a shift from a commodity-based, cost-minimizing production system (Fordism) to a more product-differentiated, value-maximizing production system informed by the imperative of flexibility.

Описание: Geographic Variation in Forest Trees is the first book toexamine this subject from a world-wide perspective. The authordiscusses population genetic theory and genetic systems of native NorthAmerican tree species as they interact with environments in the majorclimatic regions in the world. He then demonstrates how this knowledgeis used to guide seed zoning and seed transfer in silviculture, basingmuch of his discussion on models developed in Scandinavia and NorthAmerica. In the final chapter, the author addresses the issue ofgenetic conservation -- a subject of great concern in the face ofaccelerated forest destruction, industrial pollution, and climaticchange. This comprehensive, well-researched book makes a significantcontribution to the knowledge of one of our most important renewablenatural resources.

Drawing on a pioneering case study of thisnegotiation process, this book explores the challenges associated withimplementing the FSC's global vision on the ground. Indeed, theestablishment of an FSC standard for British Columbia was achieved onlyafter difficult and protracted negotiations at the regional, national,and global levels. This important work also undertakes a detailedcomparative analysis of FSC standards and standard-setting processeselsewhere and grapples with the broader implications for globalgovernance and regulatory theory.
