How easy it is to look with scorn and frustration at the destruction of tropical rainforests today. How hard to recognize our own destruction of comparable domestic treasure. The old-growth forest of the Pacific Northwest is Canada’s and America’s ancient biological wonder. Here are trees hundreds of feet high that aren’t “mature” until 250 years and often live a thousand. We are destroying the last remnants of this treasure at a time when science is just beginning to understand how it functions and sustains itself as a biological system.
It’s rare to find a book that instructs with as much eloquence and beauty as this one does. When information is also aesthetic – like the color photographs throughout this book – it makes a deeper impression. Peregrine Smith Books has made a business out of doing right by books on worthy subjects, and this volume is one their best ever.
