Book Description
This handbook of locally based agricultural practices brings together the best of science and farmer experimentation, vividly illustrating the enormous diversity of shifting cultivation systems as well as the power of human ingenuity. Environmentalists have tended to disparage shifting cultivation (sometimes called 'swidden cultivation' or 'slash-and-burn agriculture') as unsustainable due to its supposed role in deforestation and land degradation. However, a growing body of evidence indicates that such indigenous practices, as they have evolved over time, can be highly adaptive to land and ecology. In contrast, 'scientific' agricultural solutions imposed from outside can be far more damaging to the environment. Moreover, these external solutions often fail to recognize the extent to which an agricultural system supports a way of life along with a society's food needs. They do not recognize the degree to which the sustainability of a culture is intimately associated with the sustainability and continuity of its agricultural system. Unprecedented in ambition and scope, Voices from the Forest focuses on successful agricultural strategies of upland farmers. More than 100 scholars from 19 countries--including agricultural economists, ecologists, and anthropologists--collaborated in the analysis of different fallow management typologies, working in conjunction with hundreds of indigenous farmers of different cultures and a broad range of climates, crops, and soil conditions. By sharing this knowledge--and combining it with new scientific and technical advances--the authors hope to make indigenous practices and experience more widely accessible and better understood, not only by researchers and development practitioners, but by other communities of farmers around the world.

Book Description
She betrayed her family, her country, and her gods. Her only regret is not doing it sooner. Pabla was born of the forest, and her home is under attack. She's a skilled warrior, but the ancestral ways can't win a modern war. Her enemy won't stop until they've wiped every one of her kind out. Luke Remini is an under-developed man from an over-developed country. Crude, inept, and woefully misguided, he's the knight in whining armor that nobody asked for. He must journey to the heart of a failed state and expose the truth, before the last rain forest is destroyed. From international bestselling author Marcus Martin, People of Change is a thrilling near-future sci-fi series. Bursting with twists, action, and dark humor, you'll be racing to the next page. "A great read - I couldn't put it down!" - Gopal Kotecha The People of Change books can be read independently and in any order. The series contains strong language, adult themes, and gripping characters. You're welcome.
