Nature's Temples

“Maloof eloquently urges us to cherish the wildness of what little old-growth woodlands we have left… . Not only are they home to the richest diversity of creatures, but they work hard for humans too.” * New York Times Book Review *“Joan Maloof is a powerful advocate for old-growth forests.”—David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds“For anyone visiting the United States to see large trees in old-growth forests this book would be perfect to take along… . This revised and expanded book gives an excellent insight into both the flora and fauna within the forests, complimented by beautiful black and white illustrations.”—Diane Farrar, British Naturalists Association

Joan Maloof, PhD, is founder and director of the Old-Growth Forest Network, a national organization that works to save threatened forests, and professor emerita of biological sciences at Salisbury University. Her books include Treepedia and Teaching the Trees.
