For many years, the Tasmanian wilderness has been the site of a fierce struggle. At stake is the future of old-growth forests. Loggers and police face off with protesters deep in the forest, while savage political games are played in the courts and parliaments. In Into the Woods, Anna Krien, armed with a notebook, a sleeping bag and a rusty sedan, ventures behind the battlelines to see what it is like to risk everything for a cause. She speaks to ferals and premiers, sawmillers and whistle-blowers. She investigates personalities and convictions, methods and motives. This is a book about a company that wanted its way and the resistance that eventually forced it to change. Into the Woods is intimate, intrepid reporting by a fearless new voice. 'Anna Krien's intimate, urgent book pulsates with life and truth.' Chloe Hooper

Book Description Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. AUSTRALIAN FAUNA CONSERVATION For decades, the Tasmanian wilderness has been the site of bitter struggle. Sawmillers and police face off with protestors deep in the forest, while political games are played in the courts and parliaments. At stake is the future of old-growth forests, of the logging industry - and of the people on both sides, deeply divided by years of suspicion. Anna Krien brings to life this protracted conflict. Armed with a notebook, a sleeping bag and a rusty sedan, she ventures behind the fiercely drawn battlelines. She speaks to ferals and premiers, loggers and whistle-blowers, and asks challenging questions about their motives and methods.ix, 302 p. : 1 map. ; 24 cm. #030623 (light age tanning to sides)Victorian Premier's Literary Award, People's Choice Award, winner, 2011.Gunns Ltd.ÂÂ|ÂÂForests and forestry -- Tasmania.ÂÂ|ÂÂOld growth forest conservation -- Tasmania.ÂÂ|ÂÂEnvironmentalists -- Tasmania.ÂÂ|ÂÂForest policy -- Tasmania.ÂÂ|ÂÂWilderness areas -- Tasmania.ÂÂ|ÂÂEnvironmental policy -- Tasmania -- Citizen participation.ÂÂ|ÂÂLogging -- Environmental aspects -- Tasmania.ÂÂ|ÂÂForestry and community -- Tasmania.  Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
