    "This fascinating book documents in detail many but certainly not all of the truly marvellousindividual giant trees of the Pacific coast of North America, considered to be the tallest andmost dense forests on earth."--Tree News, OCtober 2005"This fascinating book documents in detail many but certainly not all of the truly marvellousindividual giant trees to be found in the forests of the Pacific coast of North America . . . Thebook begins with a fascinating section on tree measuring . . . Photographs of these tree titansare accompanied by Van Pelt's own immaculate pen drawings of each individual tree. . . Thedrawings are remarkable not only for the skill and artistry of the depictions but also becauseevery detail you see on the tree has been exactly measured with lasers to provide a picture ofunprecendented accuracy."--Tree News, Autumn/Winter 2005

    Synopsis
    The forests of the Pacific Coast are the tallest and densest on earth. Even after a century of intensive exploitation, their trees remain unmatched in overall size, height, and age. Forest Giants of the Pacific Coast is a guide to the 20 largest species of conifers in North America--from the southern Sierras to Vancouver Island, and from the coast to northwestern Montana. Overviews of 20 species feature- Color maps showing distribution of species and locations of individual giant trees- Comparative drawings and measurements of giants- Color photographs of typical trees and cones- Discussion of species and comparison of giants Individual profiles of 117 giant trees feature- Line drawings- Color photographs- Measurements- Description of history, preservation, characteristics, present condition, and location Giant trees are those with the greatest wood volume. From the Ponderosa Pine "Bear Creek Twin" to the Coast Douglas Fir "Ol' Jed," from Giant Sequoias to Western Redcedars, the trees are depicted as individuals. All are unique specimens that represent the extremes to which their species can grow. To seek out the ruling giants and their neighboring contenders, Robert Van Pelt has traveled the length and breadth of the Pacific Coast and its forests, equipped with a camera, a sketchpad, and a survey laser, amassing a database of over 5,000 individual trees. Forest Giants of the Pacific Coast will be of interest to hikers and naturalists as well as to arborists, foresters, and arm-chair explorers.
