Gut
Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

"A tale of the functional extinction of what was once one of the most economically valuable and ecologically important trees."--American Scientist, _Freinkel chronicles the history of the tree, the people who drew their livelihood from its high quality wood, and the conservationists who are working with a near-obsessive passion to revitalize the chestnut population._, "A tale of the functional extinction of what was once one of the most economically valuable and ecologically important trees."-- American Scientist, _Highly recommend it to anyone who cares about nature and perhaps this should be a required reading for all biology/ecology/environmental science students._, "Highly recommend it to anyone who cares about nature and perhaps this should be a required reading for all biology/ecology/environmental science students."-- Wildlife Activist, _A tale of the functional extinction of what was once one of the most economically valuable and ecologically important trees._, _A fascinating roundup of the characters and passions behind a century-old effort to rescue a tree that is both emblematic in American culture and deeply problematic to its erstwhile saviors._, _Describes those who witnessed the American chestnut's demise, such as seeing hillsides of _gray ghosts_ - skeletal remains of still-standing trees. People also reported hearing the sickening _thuds,_ audible from the front porch, as yet another giant would topple to the ground. . . . If this tale has whetted your appetite for learning more about chestnuts, [it] will not disappoint!_, _Not about the goods produced from the great trees but about the way humans have tried to intervene in a natural process that has taken a material from their midst._, A tale of the functional extinction of what was once one of the most economically valuable and ecologically important trees., Highly recommend it to anyone who cares about nature and perhaps this should be a required reading for all biology/ecology/environmental science students., _Time after time, this impassioned book strikes resonant emotional chords that transform dry facts into dynamic prose._, _Delivers a spellbinding microhistory teeming with tales of conviction, ambition, frustration, and just plain luck. With poetic sensibility and crystalline objectivity, Freinkel artfully explains the effect of this historic annihilation and cogently explores the practical and philosophical challenges that lie ahead._

Synopsis
The American chestnut was one of America's most common, valued, and beloved trees--a "perfect tree" that ruled the forests from Georgia to Maine. But in the early twentieth century, an exotic plague swept through the chestnut forests with the force of a wildfire. Within forty years, the blight had killed close to four billion trees and left the species teetering on the brink of extinction. It was one of the worst ecological blows to North America since the Ice Age--and one most experts considered beyond repair. In American Chestnut, Susan Freinkel tells the dramatic story of the stubborn optimists who refused to let this cultural icon go. In a compelling weave of history, science, and personal observation, she relates their quest to save the tree through methods that ranged from classical plant breeding to cutting-edge gene technology. But the heart of her story is the cast of unconventional characters who have fought for the tree for a century, undeterred by setbacks or skeptics, and fueled by their dreams of restored forests and their powerful affinity for a fellow species., The American chestnut was one of America's most common, valued, and beloved trees-a "perfect tree" that ruled the forests from Georgia to Maine.
