Régénération de fumée de la nature végétale, ou recherche sur les moyens..1818

Description

RAUCH (François-Antoine).
Regeneration of plant nature, or Research on the means of recreating, in all climates, the ancient temperatures and the primitive order of the seasons, through reasoned plantings, supported by some views on the ministry that plant power seems to have to fulfill in the harmony of the elements.

from the Imprimerie de P. Didot l’Ainé, A Paris, 1818, in-8 of XXXI-(5)-502 pp., paperback (missing caps), untrimmed, well preserved interior. Original edition. Father of ecology in France, François-Antoine Rauch here appeals to the common sense of governments to protect nature. A brilliant precursor, he denounces the massive deforestation undertaken in Asia, Africa, but also in Brazil which has suffered so much from large-scale exploitation of the forests.

Missing the second volume.
