Trees are crucial in preserving a liveable future. Canopy of
Titans makes an eloquent plea for saving one of North
America's last great forests. — Elizabeth Kolbert, author
of The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History In Canopy
of Titans, Paul Koberstein and Jessica Applegate examine the global
importance of the Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest that
stretches from Northern California to Alaska. Their urgent and
authoritative account sets out the threats facing a vital
environmental resource, and celebrates the beauty and complexity of
one of the world’s great forests. Drawing on years of
on-the-ground reporting, Koberstein and Applegate pull back the
curtain on policies of governmental bodies that have seriously
diminished the rainforest’s capacity to store carbon, and uncover
industry practices that have led to the destruction of swaths of a
major ecological resource. Additionally, using an environmental
justice perspective, Canopy of Titans shines a light on
the Indigenous communities that have lived in the rainforest for
millennia, and the impact forest policies have had on their lives.
