In this episode of the podcast, I welcome back the topic of Peak Wood and John Perlin’s excellent book “A Forest Journey”. This time John Perlin himself joins me to talk about his book and its many facets. Topics of discussion include the role of wood in civilization, our perceptions of forests through history, the relationship between forests and language, and the parallels between Peak Wood and Peak Oil.
