In The Embattled Wilderness Erik Reece, an environmental writer, and James J. Krupa, a naturalist and evolutionary biologist, alternate chapters on the cultural and natural history of the Robinson Forest in northern Kentucky-one of our most important, and endangered, landscapes.
Robinson Forest in eastern Kentucky is one of the US's most important natural landscapes - and one of the most threatened. Covering fourteen thousand acres of some of the most diverse forest region in temperate North America, it is a haven of biological richness. The Embattled Wilderness engagingly portrays this singular place as it persuasively appeals for its protection.
