The book is a compilation of maps of national forests from across the United States, and shows the devastating effects of logging on our public lands.

At a time when the timber industry and the Bush administration are using forest fires as a scapegoat for more logging, claiming that "fires have caused more destruction to our forests than chainsaws," the images in this book prove this idea to be not only wrong but absurd.

From the Pacific Crest Trail to the hardwood forests of the Allegheny, America's public lands have been severely impacted by 100 years of logging. These images demonstrate as never before the need for immediate and lasting protection of America's public forests.
