Good Wood: Growth, Loss, and Renewal

Radosevich (forest science, Oregon State U.) describes how his love for trees, family, and rural life grew, and how from his early perceptions his ideas grew about personal responsibility, care and making choices that involve others. From his conversations with beloved family and friends to encounters with knowledgeable strangers and people who have long lived in the forests and fields, Radosevich recounts the wisdom he has found in knowing when and where to prune, and when and where to live lush and unfettered. The result is a sensitive and telling collection of personal observations and learning, written in a style as elegant and uncluttered as a good tree, standing in a good forest, rooted in good earth.
