Trade Review"Eloquent and fact-filled....
Ever Green, for all its scholarly precision, is ultimately an impassioned plea to save the world’s last great wild places by two men who had come, through long professional acquaintance, to love them. Readers will find their passion to be contagious." -- Richard Schiffman - The Washington Post
"There is no better or more readable guide to the bewildering array of threats to forests or to the economic and institutional programs created to protect them. . . . It’s impossible to read
Ever Green without being moved by the vision and commitment of the people—including its authors—who’ve devoted themselves to protecting the world’s forests." -- Verlyn Klinkenborg - The New York Review of Books
"Nothing could be more important than saving the world’s last remaining forests, and no one could make a more eloquent case for this than John Reid and Thomas Lovejoy.
Ever Green is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of life." -- Elizabeth Kolbert, author of Under a White Sky and The Sixth Extinction
"Five giant forests—Amazon, Congo, New Guinea, and two taigas—holding carbon, diverse life, and the fate of the planet. This is a profoundly important, fresh-minded, deftly written, and constructive book. Therefore it’s also thrilling." -- David Quammen, author of The Tangled Tree and Spillover
