Where does mankind go from here? Where else have we not settled, altered, and consumed?

Its forest of enormous trees once created a boundary difficult to penetrate, let alone farm. Yet, today this wildness is under threat, as civilization bores its way into even this remote edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Zwinger graduated with honors from Cornell College in 1969 in Art and English, completed her Masters at the Writer' Workshop at the University of Iowa in 1971, and her PhD in Art Education from the Pennsylvania State University in 1974. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe has combined her interest in the natural world, her skills in teaching, and her talent as both a writer and an artist, in professional work and as a dedicated volunteer.
