Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The redwood tree has long been the national icon for nature and conservation, and few natural wonders has stimulated so much writing. This highly illustrated literary anthology, with diverse selections—stories, poems, natural history writing, and articles about contemporary conservation issues—that span more than 300 years, provides a unique and complete view of the tree’s place in history and the imagination. With over fifty photographs, paintings, lithographs, and other graphics.

5.0 out of 5 stars the mighty redwood, May 21, 2004
By Alan Yali (london United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
peter johnstone captures the majesty of these national treasures with extracts from an interesting variety of contempary material. these giants have seen the rise and fall of many species, and this book does them justice. the photo section is mainly logging, and touristic of felled trees,but fascinating all the same. the book is a must.
