Acerca de esta escucha
Most residents of the eastern United States never get to see an old-growth forest. They think perhaps these forests are too far away, or they dont know how to find them. Joan Maloof's Among the Ancients remedies this. In her intelligent, lyrical book, Maloof takes you to twenty-six forests--one in each state east of the Mississippi River and all open to the public. She tells you how to get there and what you will find when you arrive.
On this journey from giant hemlock groves in Pennsylvania to a lonely stand of pines in Wisconsin, you will come face to face, perhaps for the first time, with old growth: the forests with the largest trees and the richest diversity of life. You will camp with Maloof under the Big Tree in Alabama and paddle to the magnificent Patriarch in Delaware; dodge poisonwood sap in Florida's Lignumvitae Key and tangle with a bat in the Michigan wilderness. You will also see the forests from the human perspective: who had the dream, who drew the line, who said no to the loggers. And you will learn about the vital link between old-growth forests and our own survival.
An immensely listenable natural-history primer, Among the Ancients is also an adventure story and an impassioned plea to preserve and support the few untouched stretches of forest that remain.
