Here we go, another librarian review for a 700+ page door stop. But seriously this book is engrossing. Spanning several decades and exploring multiple genealogies this page-turning behemoth will keep you gripped (or your money back). The long format provides a telescopic view of the history of the logging industry in North America as well as the gradual shift from frontier mythologizing to ecological thinking. This is the great achievement of this book and you have to work to get the pay off. And if you are still put off by the sheer size it is divided into smaller books which can be read alone and then put down whilst you read your next bodice-ripping potboiler.
