I have just seen what I presume is the first full review of Forest Guardians, Forest Destroyers: The politics of environmental knowledge in Northern Thailand. This new book, regular readers will recall, was written by New Mandala co-founder, Andrew Walker, and his partner in critical environmental debate, Tim Forsyth, from the London School of Economics. The reviewer, in this case, is Erik W. Davis. He even manages to get a smiley face into his review. Now that is cool

Hah! Thanks for catching the inadvertent smiley face in the review (which is, as is the case with much blogging, very much a tentative invitation to conversation – happy to hear critiques of critiques, etc.). I’ll leave the smiley face in since you’ve referenced it, but now I’ve got to go find out how to use parens without wordpress automatically converting to smileys! Cheers,
Erik

I have made some brief comments on Erik’s blog in relation to his very thoughtful review.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
