Description:
Since European settlement, Appalachia's natural history has been profoundly impacted by the people who have lived, worked, and traveled there. Beginning with the geological events that formed the mountains, Bolgiano's journey explores the influx of settlers, Native American displacement, lumber and coal exploitation, the birth of forestry, and conservation efforts. Her research concludes that rich natural habitat and a growing interest in tourism and outdoor recreation prove the urgency in preserving connected, mature forests for the benefit of all living things in the Appalachian wilderness -- including people.
Expand description
Historical information, forestry issues, and conservation efforts extend well beyond an Appalachian readership.
