In the 1980s she was affiliated with the University of Sussex and
the Overseas Development Institute. During the late 1980s and early
1990s, she has authored or edited a number (about 11) of books and
pamphlets on social forestry, published by the Overseas Development
Institute. They are listed in MELVYL, the University of California
library catalog (which is easily accessible through the Internet),
if you are interested. I hope this information is helpful.
