All the Trees of the Forest: Israel's Woodlands from the Bible to the Present
Alon Tal
Abstract
This book provides a detailed account of Israeli forests, tracing their history from the Bible to the present, and outlines the effort to transform drylands and degraded soils into prosperous parks, rangelands, and ecosystems. The book's description of Israel's trials and errors, and its exploration of both the environmental history and the current policy dilemmas surrounding that country'ss forests, hope to provide valuable lessons in the years to come for other parts of the world seeking to reestablish timberlands.
Keywords: Israeli forests, drylands, soils, parks, rangelands, ecosystems, policy dilemmas
