A history through the 1990s, of vast forested tracts in VT, NH, ME and The Adirondacks. There are plenty of life stories of locals, detailed descriptions of logging and forest management,development, farming and plenty of politics. As such, I'm not sure that this will hold the attention of a wide audience. It''s a bit dry at times. I was hoping for a bit more on natural history.

Long-form journalism, such as this book by David Dobbs, is becoming one of my favorite types of books to read on my Kindle. This short book describes Dobbs' attempt to find out what prompted his dying mother to
request that her ashes be spread out on the sea, so she could go back to her first love, Angus, whom none of her children knew anything about. Dobbs ends up learning that his mother was a much more complicated woman than she appeared. An interesting look at family secrets.
