Ever Green, for all its scholarly precision, is ultimately an impassioned plea to save the worlds last great wild places by two men who had come, through long professional acquaintance, to love them. Readers will find their passion to be contagious." -- Richard Schiffman - The Washington Post "There is no better or more readable guide to the bewildering array of threats to forests or to the economic and institutional programs created to protect them. . . . Its impossible to read Ever Green without being moved by the vision and commitment of the peopleincluding its authorswhove devoted themselves to protecting the worlds forests." -- Verlyn Klinkenborg - The New York Review of Books "Nothing could be more important than saving the worlds last remaining forests, and no one could make a more eloquent case for this than John Reid and Thomas Lovejoy. Ever Green is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of life." -- Elizabeth Kolbert, author of Under a White Sky and The Sixth Extinction "Five giant forestsAmazon, Congo, New Guinea, and two taigasholding carbon, diverse life, and the fate of the planet.
