Not Just Trees: The Legacy of a Douglas-Fir Forest

by Jane Claire Dirks-Edmunds

The author focuses on an ancient Oregon coast range forest through a span of about 60 years. The title refers to the fact that more than trees make up such a forest, and she includes information on the great variety of other inhabitants. The forest under discussion was logged in the 1940s and clearcut in the 1980s, and the author shows all that is lost when ancient forests are destroyed. Paper edition (unseen), $22.95.
