Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

First printing. A difficult book to read for anyone who loves the redwoods, since it makes it clear how much has been lost. This is called "the definitive story of the California redwoods, their discovery and their exploitation, as told by an activist who fought to protect their existence against those determined to cut them down. Few who visit the world’s tallest trees understand how unlikely it is that these last isolated groves of giant trees still stand at all. In this gripping historical memoir, journalist and famed redwood activist Greg King examines how investors and a growing U.S. economy drove the timber industry to cut down all but 4 percent of the original two-million-acre redwood ecosystem. . The land grab began in 1849, when a 'green gold rush' of migrants came to exploit the legendary redwoods that grew along the Russian River. Several generations later, in 1987, Greg King discovered and named Headwaters Forest - at 3,000 acres the largest ancient redwood habitat remaining outside of parks - and he led the movement to save this grove." He also describes how the so-called "Save the Redwoods League," led by businessmen and industrialists (and racists) was focused only on saving a few "representative" sections along the highway while making it easier to log the many acres still untouched. SIGNED on the title page with the words "Look up!" Illustrated with photographs, many in full color. Bibliography, index. xiii, 457 pp. Very near fine in a like dustjacket.…

In 1998 we relocated our main business from Sacramento to the Sierra foothills of Amador County, about 35 miles east of downtown Sacramento and between Ione & Sutter Creek.
