Fruitless Trees: Portuguese Conservation and Brazil's Colonial Timber by Shawn William Miller, For the most part, Brazil's forests were not harvested, but annihilated, jornal do brazil and relatively little was extracted for the benefit of Brazilians, a tragedy perhaps worse than deforestation alone. Fruitless Trees aims to make sense of what at first glance appears to be the senseless destruction of Brazil's incomparable timber. The forests have always been Brazil's most striking natural resource, jornal do brazil and the Portuguese colonists anticipated enormous returns from its harvest, since Brazilian timber was more abundant jornal do brazil and superior in quality to anything known in Europe, North America, or even Portugal's East Indian possessions. This work investigates the relationship between Portugal's colonial forest policies jornal do brazil and the successes of the colonial venture, showing how forest law shaped the fortunes of the timber sector jornal do brazil and promoted or obstructed colonial development. Timber was the steel, oil, coal, jornal do brazil and plastic of the early modern period, jornal do brazil and the effectiveness of its extraction affected nearly every branch of the colonial economy. Challenging previous scholarship that simply ascribed the destruction of Brazil's remarkable forests to the Europeans' voracious greed jornal do brazil and inherent hostility to the forest, the author argues that we must delineate the extent to which tropical timber was put to advantageous ends, jornal do brazil and explore precisely why so large a proportion of Brazil's timber was incinerated rather than converted to colonial wealth. Although Brazil exported substantial quantities of timber to Europe, the total amount fell far below expectations. The author attributes this in part to several ecological jornal do brazil and geographical factors including the lack of common stands, the preponderance of timbers too dense tobe floated inexpensively downstream, jornal do brazil and the dearth of safe ports jornal do brazil and navigable rivers. But the most significant factor in timber's unexpectedly poor showing was the Crown's effort from 1652 to monopolize Brazil's best timbers.
