A good starter on how important trees are to civilisations throughout history. Illustrates how forest degradation can initiate societal collapse.
Three main chapters; ancient, England and the transition to America to modern day. Well-sourced as the English have always kept good records.

I'm going to check that out. I read Forest Journey recently and it was also incredible. It discusses how wood has influenced world powers and human history going back thousands of years. You can pretty much exchange every instance of "wood" with the word "oil" and it would sound like you are talking about today's wars/politics.
