The Collins Companies Books Available on Forest Issues: Books for children Clearcut: The Tragedy of Industrial Forestry ed. by Bill Devall "Both a eulogy for the vast, lost forests and a call to activism in hopes of reversing this tragic, needless devastation." Understanding Forests John J. Berger "The best introductory guide to forestry practices and the issues surrounding the preservation of American forests." "In writing as lush as the threatened forests he describes, William Dietrich captures why the battle isn't merely for the ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest and California but for the health of the planet itself." "An inspiring, informative account of both the complexity of an undisturbed forest and the intelligence of the people who are drawn to study nature rather than
exploit it." "Ecoforestry is a major step forward in the rejection of the failed (forestry) system, and the articulation and embrace of a viable new one...Here we have the greatest collection of practitioners and theorists in the movement toward ecologically responsible and sustainable forest use, gathered under one cover to
present and explain every nuance, and the new paradigms that are represented." THE MOUNTAIN Peter Parnell
Tells the story of what happens when a wilderness area is turned into a public park
and not managed properly.1971 Doubleday, Garden City NY. A wonderfully rhymed tale of the demise of Swomee Swans,
Humming-fish, Barbaloots and the Truffala Trees due to people's greed. Fun to read aloud, and available
for $5. Tiny size, and regular, plus a great 30 minute video. We showed this with NPS
permission at Sierra Club's LeConte Memorial Yosemite Valley many summers when I was chairman there.
Great music...kids and adults love it. This is
the book they tried to ban in Washington State. Can you imagine banning Dr. Seuss?

The Last Stand: The War Between Wall Street and Main Street Over
California's Ancient Redwoods, by David Harris,
A Sierra Club Book. This reads like a novel and is a gripping account of corporate greed (or
maybe just personal greed!) and of the frustrating attempts to stop it. The
author is a naturalist who gets drawn into the controversy; this is her story of growing activism
and the stories of the people she interviewed and of the forests she experienced. A
moving story that non-activist activists can relate to!
