Publisher Synopsis
"The book both informs and inspires, conveying a sophisticated understanding of the forces affecting the health of our forests and the ways the reader can help to preserve them." - Jonathan G.

Woodwell, founder, director emeritus, and senior scientist, Woods Hole Research Center" Read more...
