Hollsten, Laura. Review of From Rainforest to Cane Field in Cuba: An Environmental History since 1492 by Reinaldo Funes Monzote. Global Environment 3 (2009): 258–61.
From Rainforest to Cane Field is an impressively researched, carefully crafted and well-written analysis of the interaction between forests and the sugar-making apparatus in Cuba. It is also a powerful reminder of what an unsustainable relationship between nature and society can do to island ecosystems. — Laura Hollsten
