John Perlin: A Forest Journey
Thursday, October 12 at 6 p.m. Northtown Books welcomes John Perlin to speak about A Forest Journey: The Role of Trees in the Fate of Civilization, now in a updated edition. Until the ascendancy of fossil fuels, wood was the principal fuel and building material from the dawn of civilization. Its abundance or scarcity greatly shaped, as A Forest Journey ably relates, the culture, demographics, economy, internal and external politics and technology of successive societies over the millennia.
