Douglas firs are found in the continental northwest from British Columbia to as far south as Oaxaca, Mexico. They flourish in the Cascades, Rocky Mountains, Sierra, and other mountain ranges, as well as in desert valleys. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Incredibly hardy, this tree adopts various strategies to occupy more kinds of habitats than any other native tree, even becoming an uncontrollable invader in some regions, crowding out ponderosa pines, western larch, aspen groves, and mountain grasslands. Yet the utility of this noble species is immense. Douglas firs yield more high-quality construction lumber than any other tree in the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Most intriguing of all, perhaps, is that the story of the Douglas fir has gone untold. \u003ci\u003eDouglas Fir\u003c\/i\u003e fills this literary gap and presents an engaging profile of the Douglas fir and its relationship to people, commerce, culture, and wilderness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Arno, Carl Fiedler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1680511998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781680511994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mountaineers Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 6.60w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2020 pg. 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/06\/2020","brand":"Stephen Arno","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052308984063,"sku":"9781680511994","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cd576ffe-585d-4c4c-82d7-8335d9e306c5.jpg?v=1685018088","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/douglas-fir-stephen-arno-9781680511994","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
