In this magnificant photographic collection, Graham Osborne's breathtaking images depict the many guise of the rainforest--gnarled tree trunks dripping with moss, the spires of Douglas firs reaching into the sky, waterfalls tumbling over time-worn rocks, ice-encased fern fronds in winter, scarlet maple leaves littering the ground in autumn, a burst of wildflowers along a river bank in spring.
In his eloquent text, Wade Davis describes the scale and abundance of these rainforests, where redwoods reach nearly 120 meters and read cedars can be 6 metres or more across at the base. Davis also discusses the role of the rainforest in Native culture and mourns the loss of much of this ancient foest through overcutting and other shortsighted forestry practices.
Together, Davis's powerful writing and Osborne's spectular photographs provide a stunning tribute to this rare and beautiful ecosystem, as well as a compelling plea to preserve it.
