Really something very different for me, a recent history of logging on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula
http://www.williamdietrich.com/finalforest.htm A very balanced look at logging practice and the ensuing Spotted Owl controversy, Dietrich interviews participants from all facets of the issue of logging America's last ancient forest. Having recently visited parts of it I can only say I'm happy for the preservation efforts even tho it has had an effect on the timber industry.
A little bit of virgin forest and the heart of the Olymipcs that I saw this past September, one thing for sure - I'm going back, it's beautiful beyond words.
