| 520 | |a Ever since the giant sequoias of California's Calaveras Grove first captivated the American public, this towering, ancient tree species has provoked the imagination and motivated us to action on a national scale. In a narrative that spans centuries and continents, former National Park Service ranger-naturalist William C. Tweed explores the evolution of the unique relationship between humans and the Big Trees: from their early status as tourist attractions embodying California's superlative, almost unbelievable appeal; to their exploitation and the public outcry that this desecration evoked; to their direct inspiration for the idea of a national park system; to their presence at the heart of the scientific community's attitudinal shifts in land management policy. Featuring a cast of adventurers, artists, researchers, politicians, and environmentalists, King Sequoia reveals how our enduring relationship with these arboreal giants has shaped our physical, intellectual, and political landscapes.--COVER. | ||
