In Forests in Peril--Tracking Deciduous Trees from Ice-Age Refuges into the Greenhouse World, Hazel Delcourt takes the reader on her personal journey to document the history of this great forest from its elusive and nebulous presence at the peak of the last age through its development as a magnificent natural resource to its uncertain future in tomorrow's greenhouse world. Along the way the reader is introduced to methods of studying vegetation, collecting and interpreting data, and the application of this knowledge to secure the needs of the forest in a world increasingly dominated by human activities.

The philosophical, intellectual, and methodological perspectives contained in Forests in Peril will appeal to readers interested in understanding how the natural history of North America has been studied and how that study can contribute to the protection and preservation of America's important biological resources.
