The Northern Forest
Environmental writers Dobbs and Ober detail the land and people of the Northern Forest, an area of "26 million acres stretching across upper New England and New York." Each chapter covers the forest in a particular state--New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and New York--with each chapter delving into the people, politics, and economics of the state it covers. The many individuals interviewed here are all tied to the land in some way. Everyone gets his or her say, from loggers and mill workers to farmers and people working in the tourist industries; and these folks are really the center of this book. Their lives are compelling and complex, as is their relationship to the land. Intelligent and objective.Brian McCombie--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
