Since Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist William Dietrich first published \u003ci\u003eThe Final Forest\u003c\/i\u003e in 1992, logging in Forks has given way to tourism, but even with its new fame, Forks is still a home to loggers and others who make their living from the surrounding forests. The new edition recounts how forest policy and practices have changed since the early 1990s and also tells us what has happened in Forks and where the actors who were so important to the timber wars are now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more information on the author to to: http: \/\/williamdietrich.com\/\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"William Dietrich has gone to the heart of the greatest forest left in North America and returned with a clear and compelling story of why so many people are fighting over it.
