Description: Landscape is much more than scenery to be observed or even terrain to be traveled, as this fascinating and many-layered book vividly shows us. Etched into the land is the history of how we have inhabited it, the storms and fires that have shaped it, and its response to these and other changes.
Brief description: Tom Wessels is an ecologist and the author of Reading the Forested Landscape and Forest Forensics. He is the director of the Environmental Biology program at Antioch New England Graduate School.
Review Quotes: The etchings in Reading the Forested Landscape are fabulous and the text is more entertaining than The Disney Channel.--Brian Downey "Peterborough, NH Transcript"
