Table of ContentsReviews“An inspiring, informative account of the complexity of an undisturbed forest.” —Audubon magazine “Like John McPhee, Luoma writes a clear reportorial prose, affable and supple enough to accommodate his range of facts, quotes, and ideas. And, like McPhee, he explains natural science’s recent discoveries by telling the stories of the discoverers. The result is an engaging yet serious outline of what we know about forests. And what experts are still finding out.” —Publishers Weekly An inspiring, informative account of the complexity of an undisturbed forest. -Audubon magazine Like John McPhee, Luoma writes a clear reportorial prose, affable and supple enough to accommodate his range of facts, quotes, and ideas.
