#3314 of 3,809 books · #459 in Science & Technology
Shortlisted for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Science and Technology (1996).
From the sugarbush of Vermont and the dogwoods of Maryland to the hollows in Appalachia and the mountainsides of the West, a whole range of human-caused maladies--acid rain, ultraviolet rays, and other eco-hazards--has been the cause of major forest decline. Little explores the phenomenon with scientists and government officials, and recounts their respondes to this threat to global ecological balance.
