The Final Forest: Big Trees, Forks, and the Pacific Northwest
"In writing as lush as the threatened forests he describes, William Dietrich captures why the battle isn't merely for the ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest and California but for the health of the planet itself." -Michael L. Fischer, former Executive Director, Sierra Club   "William Dietrich has gone to the heart of the greatest forest left in North America and returned with a clear and compelling story of why so many people are fighting over it." -Timothy Egan, author of The Big Burn "Dietrich presents in an easy-to-read narrative style the point of view of various participants in this war, from the logger whose way of life is threatened to a biologist concerned with saving the Northern spotted owl. Highly recommended." -Library Journal   "A remarkably readable and lucid account." -Audubon Magazine   "The best book about the environment that I've read in a year."-Newsday
