He began this incisive, no-holds-barred critique while serving a six-month sentence in a Wyoming jail for pulling up survey stakes. Woke considers the original natural grandeur of North America and how Europeans devastated it in a few centuries then moves on to outline a comprehensive ecological argument for the preservation of real wilderness. He dissects the failure of the big national conservation groups to promote an ecological wilderness system and discusses how government agencies like the US Forest Service do the bidding of timber companies, cattle ranchers, and oil companies, Wolke finishes with a proposal for a true ecological wilderness system. This is one of the most important conservation books of our time and deserves to be read by all those fighting to protect biological diversity, - Dave Foreman. As the last old-growth conifers of the Northwest fall and are replaced by managed tree farms, as the last free-flowing rivers are dammed, as the few remaining unaltered big game winter ranges are subdivided, and as the last of the diverse eastern forests are clearcut; more and more species will become extinct, more native ecosystems will disappear, more noxious weeds and other exotics will invade the depleted landscape, and more genetic material will be forever lost. The quality of our portion of the planet will continue to plummet, unless, perhaps, those who care about, bleed for, and love wild country begin to work to reverse the tragic depletion of life, natural diversity, and wildness. -from the book.
