“Now this is a book well worth the read. It describes—in loving, living prose—one of the world's greatest and most important landscapes. And it does so while there's still time to save some serious part of it, and in the process to save much else. . . . Balanced, nuanced—but overpowering.”—Bill McKibben, author The End of Nature
