Part armchair travelogue, part guide book, this projected
three-volume series - divided into the western, central, and
eastern United States - will introduce readers to all 155 national
forests across the country. "This Land" is the only comprehensive
field guide that describes the natural features, wildernesses,
scenic drives, campgrounds, and hiking trails of our national
forests, many of which - while little known and sparsely visited -
boast features as spectacular as those found in our national parks
and monuments. Each entry includes logistical information about
size and location, facilities, attractions, and associated
wilderness areas. For about half of the forests, Robert H.
Mohlenbrock has provided sidebars on the biological or geological
highlights, drawn from the 'This Land' column that he has written
for "Natural History" magazine since 1984. Superbly illustrated
with color photographs, botanical drawings, and maps, this book is
loaded with information, clearly written, and easy to use. This
volume covers national forests in: Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, New
Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto
Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia,
and Wisconsin.
