                    NATURE 'S TEMPLES

                                         - Joan Maloof



Author Joan Maloof translates scientific study into highly readable language about the intricacies and relationships of old growth forests, and illustrates why these ecosystems are vital and unique (even distinct from young or second-growth forests). Illustrations by Andrew Joslin bring the words to life with black-and-white sketches that are reminiscent of a field guide, making me feel like a bit of a scientist myself who is exploring the hidden world of old growth forests. 

The book helps really understand the significance of old-growth woodland/forest. Shows the error in believing the architect's drawings showing 'landscaped' plantings around new buildings.
