"Wilderness Comes Home - Rewilding the Northeast", edited by Christopher 
McGrory Klyza and with a chapter by Bob Leverett!

This book is about a decade old- and somehow I never saw it until recently 
though I've read bits and pieces of writings by Bob.

Chapter 3 is written by Bob, "Old-Growth Forests of the Northeast".

I'm sure many/most of you are familiar with the book but if not, I strongly 
recommend it.

Bob's chapter is incredibly good! When I read a book- I have my red pen with me 
and I underline the good stuff and add check marks for very good stuff and 
stars for super good stuff. This chapter almost wore out my pen!

When I get time I'm going to pass along some quotes from the chapter- for now 
I'll offer one, perhaps the best:

  "No reservoir of indigenous wisdom about the Northeast forests flows from 
European Americans, and that which existed in Native American culture has been 
irretrievably lost."

That's a gem!
