Description: "Anatomy of a Conflict explores the cultural aspects of the fierce dispute between activist loggers and environmentalists over the fate of Oregon's temperate rain forest. Centred on the practice of old-growth logging and the survival of the northern spotted owl, the conflict has led to the burning down of ranger stations, the spiking of trees, blockades of logging trucks, and countless demonstrations and arrests."--BOOK JACKET.
