In the Northeastern United States, a region of the country better known for its urban centers and cramped spaces than its natural grandeur, lies a swath of forest, mountains, lakes, and rivers so rugged and vast, with a beauty so startling, that its very existence seems incomprehensible to many outside its boundaries. But exist it does. Spanning some twenty-six million acres-across New York's Adirondacks, northern Vermont and New Hampshire, and Maine's North Woods-is one of the largest remaining wild forests in the East and one of the nation's last great places: the Northern Forest. In "Northeastern Wilds, travel with author and photographer Stephen Gorman down raging rapids and over dazzling snow-swept peaks, along solitary trails and across remote glassy lakes, as he takes us on an unforgettable visual and literary journey through this little-known region's rich history, geography, and culture. Gorman's stunning photography and evocative essays reveal the singular and irreplaceable character of the Northern Forest, a place where people work, play, and coexist with nature like nowhere else in this country. Gorman confidently guides us through the complexities of this working wilderness and the many challenges facings its survival, exploring with an even hand and an open mind such difficult issues as clear-cutting, land development, endangered-species reintroduction, and conservation. Throughout the book, we meet members of the diverse communities who make their living from and in the Northern Forest. First-hand insights from such well-know voices as E. Annie Proulx and Bill McKibben, as well as Abenaki leaders, paper company executives, and lifelong residents, highlight thepresent-day choices and opportunities facing this wilderness area. The beauty of the Northern Forest is breathtaking, its ability to inspire undeniable. What remains in question is its future-and how in this age of technology and unyielding development we will sustain its wildness for centuries to come. Media ><
