This is a fascinating book about New Jersey's Pine Barrens. You would never think that such a large area of undeveloped land would exist in New Jersey.
McPhee is a classic nature writer and this is one of his better books. From the Ballentine Walden Edition Library it was released about the same time as Diet for a Small Planet, Malabar Farm, and Sand County Almanac. A lost treasure of the early environmental literature of our nation.
A portrait of wilderness in the path of urban growth. An outstanding reading experience. It is a conservation classic.
