I am very glad to report Dr. Maloof has now revised and updated her 2016 book “Nature’s Temples” from Timber Press into the newly published and slightly re-titled “Nature’s Temples; A Natural History of Old Growth Forests,” published just this past April by Princeton University Press.
Translated from the original German by Jane Billinghurst, whose superb skills have brought Peter Wohlleben’s other Greystone published editions into English, his forthcoming “The Heartbeat of Trees” presents a more human-centered examination of the relationship we have long had – and according to Herr Wohlleben, still have, if we take note of it – with the natural world.
From its first edition originally published in 1950, “Trees to Know in Oregon” has been an essential field guide for naturalists, ecologists, foresters, and anyone else interested in identifying and understanding the trees to be found in its title-referenced U.S. state.
When it comes to remaining stands of European forest, the Białowieża Forest of eastern Poland and western Belarus is the one most often cited in regard to the importance of its conservation, the significance of the ecological research that takes place within it, and the political controversies in which it occupies a central flashpoint.
