If you haven't ever experienced a new way about thinking about looking at the environment than this book will blow your mind.
It shows you how to look at the old features of New England and know if the trees were there3 200 years ago or if they have just grown up in the last 110.
Combined with the book Changes in the Land you can start to learn that in the early 1900s NH was 10% forest and now it is near 85 or 90%.
Reading the Forested Landscape allows you to look for where trees might have burned, where lightning strikes may have happened, and where logging operations may have scraped into trees.
