Contents "Forests and Korean Culture" is the valuable product of what the author, Young Woo Chun, has looked at the forests of Korea through the window of culture since 1990's. The Korean edition published in 1999 by Sumoon publisher has been a remarkable success and was selected as a recommendable good book by Korea Publication Ethics Commission, Korean Publishers Cooperative and Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Korea. This book made an exceptional case by being published in Japanese in 2004 by Kokushu publication of Tokyo, Japan. Today, in the Environmental Age, more people look at forests more closely and find an indispensable life-supporting ecosystem that allows humanity to resolve the environmental problems. And the traditional wisdom and values which lasted for millennia for forest use and conservation comes salient and prominent again. The reason why this English version is published is obvious and fair. The author would like to introduce to the greater global audience the Korean culture and history of forest use and conservation.
In "Forest and the Korean Culture," you will be able to find interesting texts under the four themes: Forest, the Source of National Mentality (Section 1), Forest, the Hidden Hero at the Base of Civilization (Section 2), Forest, the Culturally Sustainable Environment (Section 3), and Forest, the Face of Our Land (Section 4). |
