In the process of telling a truly amazing -- and true -- story about a fantastically rare tree in British Columbia and the eccentric man who cut it down, John Vaillant recounts in lush detail much of the natural history of the Pacific Northwest, the people who live there, and the impact of human activity on the forests, and thereby on the planet.
