Loved this book! An experienced newspaper reporter, the author interviewed people on all sides of the very complex logging & spotted owl issues. He wisely wove all of this into an intricate and compelling book. As an outsider who only recently visited the region for the first time, I found this book enlightening, helping me understand what I saw and why. I wish I could return to the area; my appreciation would go much deeper. ( )

Believe one who knows. You will find something greater in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters. -- St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 1145
Do you think I was born in the woods to be afraid of an owl? -- Jonathan Swift, 1738

If it were more ordinary country, less lovely and less hard, maybe the love and outrage would not be so keen.
