“If you've ever loved a verdant woodland or a lush rainforest, this book will warm your heart. John Berger has produced a wonderful introduction to how forests work and why they are so important. The book both informs and inspires, conveying a sophisticated understanding of the forces affecting the health of our forests and the ways the reader can help to preserve them.”—Dr. Jonathan G. Koomey, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Consulting Professor, Stanford University
(Dr. Jonathan G. Koomey, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Consulting Professor, Stanford University 2007-03-06)“For thousands of struggling communities, Forests Forever provides a practical, compelling blueprint for increasing prosperity by restoring and nurturing their forest economy. It’s an essential tool for local politicians, civil servants, economic developers, and activists.”—Michael Shuman, author of Going Local:Creating Self-Reliant Communities in a Global Age

“The best introductory guide to forestry practices and the issues surrounding the preservation of American forests.”—Adam Werbach, former president of the Sierra Club
(Adam Werbach, former president of the Sierra Club 2007-03-06)"Magnificently done. I am impressed with the importance of the book as a contemporary statement on the status of the management of publicly owned and managed forests, especially in the U.S. and Canada. The book’s emphasis on forestry as opposed to the management of land and landscapes is a perspective that must emerge quickly if we are to preserve ourselves and our natural heritage."—Dr. George M. Woodwell, Founder, Director Emeritus, and Senior Scientist, Woods Hole Research Center
(Dr. George M. Woodwell, Founder, Director Emeritus, and Senior Scientist, Woods Hole Research Center 2007-03-06)"Society has learned little from history, in part because the cumulative tyranny of unwise decisions, which led to catastrophic events, has seldom been chronicled. In his book, Forests Forever, John Berger provides a rare archive of such myopic political/economic actions that, if taken seriously, can help prevent further destruction of the world¹s forests, which, after all, constitute part of the global commons. As such, sustainable forests are everyone¹s birthright."
(Chris Maser, author of Our Forest Legacy: Today's Decisions, Tomorrow's Consequences)“In clear and eloquent language, John Berger presents a powerful case for protecting and restoring forests: the future of our planet depends on it. Berger's carefully researched book, filled with striking photographs and compelling case studies of forests under threat from California to Siberia, examines the political and economic causes of the threats, and proposes actions that can be taken at both the policy level and individual level. This is a valuable resource for anyone not yet convinced of the threat, and for those ready to take action.”--Seymour I. Schwartz, University of California, Davis
