Condition: Nr Fine in Good- DJ. 256 Pgs. ISBN 0062516582. LCCN 99-088633. The story of a tree, a woman, and the struggle to save the Redwoods. To protest the plan to clear-cut a redwood forest in 1997, the author climbed into the branches of a majestic redwood she named Luna, and didn't come down for 738 days. Here she offers her bird's-eye view of the logging controversy, as well as sharing the day to day events of her perch, which include visits by Joan Baez and taunts from loggers, who, cutting dangerously near in the past actually killed another protester. Her memoir is both a call to arms for the preservation of our forests and an inspirational tale about following one's inner guidance despite the dangers and the nay sayers. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Description text copyright 2010 BooksForComfort. Item ID 22107.
