Reseña del editor
Spanning 26 million acres across New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, the Northern Forest is the largest remaining wild forest in the East. Here is a rugged landscape of thick boreal forests, blazing autumn hillsides, snowy granite peaks, and mighty river headwaters. In Northeastern Wilds: Journeys of Discovery in the Northern Forest, writer and photographer Stephen Gorman blends the region¿s rich history, geography, culture, and environmental change into an evocative work that retraces the steps of early travelers and explorers and gives voice to those who live, work, and recreate in the Northern Forest today. Northeastern Wilds takes the reader on a journey of discovery from the rocky shores of Acadia National Park through the wild interior of Maine¿s unorganized territories, along native canoe trails in New Hampshire, and into New York¿s Adirondack Park. Accompanying Gorman¿s absorbing narratives are his striking photographs, from the flowing headwaters of the St. John River and Katahdin¿s stark summit to the arresting image of a fellerbuncher¿a mechanical log harvesting machine¿tearing through a forest. Along the way, Gorman introduces a diverse cast of characters who speak to the future of the Northern Forest. These first-hand accounts from such well-known voices as E. Annie Proulx and Bill McKibben, as well as Abenaki tribespeople, paper company executives, life-long residents and others bring home the present-day challenges, choices¿and opportunities¿facing this vast region today. Northeastern Wilds is a stunning visual testament to the power of landscape in our lives.
Contraportada
In the Northeastern United States, a region of the country better known for its urban centers and cramped spaces than its natural grandeur, lies a swath of forest, mountains, lakes, and rivers so rugged and vast, with a beauty so startling, that its very existence seems incomprehensible to many outside its boundaries. But exist it does. Spanning some twenty-six million acres - across New York's Adirondacks, northern Vermont and New Hampshire and Maine's North Woods - is the largest remaining wild forest in the East and one of the nation's last great places: the Northern Forest.In Northeastern Wilds, travel with author and photographer Stephen Gorman down raging rapids and over dazzling snow-swept peaks, along solitary trails and across remote glassy lakes, as he takes us on an unforgettable visual and literary journey through this little-known region's rich history, geography, and culture. Gorman's stunning photography and evocative essays reveal the singular and irreplaceable character of the Northern Forest, a place where people work, play, and coexist with nature like nowhere else in this country.The beauty of the Northern Forest is breathtaking, its ability to inspire undeniable. What remains in question is its future - and how in this age of technology and unyielding development we will sustain its wilderness for the centuries to come. (8 1/2 x 11, 192 pages, color photos)
