"Here's an example of seeing wonder in the commonplace, of uncovering fascinating stories about common, humdrum, nonsexy brush. Rogers-Iversen pulled me into these plants' stories with user-friendly English, a balanced approach to environmental issues, and well-referenced statements. I admire her effortless mixing of literature, Native American lore, tree physiology, and personal anecdotes. If you like Tony Hillerman, you'll like this book!" --George Constantz, author of Ice, Fire, and Nutcrackers: A Rocky Mountain Ecology "This book is one of the best examples I have seen of combining complex scientific concepts and human history in a way that makes the reader see and feel, as it weaves together personal narrative, human and cultural history, explanation of laws and policies, and commentary. One can tell that the author knows what she is talking about--and she is telling us a fascinating story. I did not want to put it down." --Susan Marsh, author of A Hunger for High Country and coauthor of Saving Wyoming's Hoback
