With this is mind, Springer’s World Forests series has been established to provide a key forum for research-based syntheses of globally relevant issues on the interrelations between forests, society and the environment. The series is intended for a wide range of readers including national and international entities concerned with forest, environmental and related policy issues; advanced students and researchers; business professionals, non-governmental organizations and the environmental and economic media. Volumes published in the series will include both multidisciplinary studies with a broad range of coverage, as well as more focused in-depth analyses of a particular issue in the forest and related sectors. Themes range from globalization processes and international policies to comparative analyses of regions and countries.

Preface
The idea for this book emerged during a conference for forest policies and economics in Padua, Italy, where Dainis and I met for the first time in 2005. While we enjoyed the Italian hospitality, we both found the human aspect lacking in most of the conference talks. Can numbers really explain everything
