The Living Forest ─ A Visual Journey into the Heart of the Woods

From the leaves and branches of the canopy to the roots and soil of the understory, the forest is a complex, interconnected world filled with plants, birds, mammals, insects, and fungi. The Living Forest, by award-winning photographer Robert Llewellyn, is a visual journey into this magical place. With fine-art photography that celebrate the small and the large, the living and the dead, and the seen and unseen, alongside lyrical essays by Joan Maloof, The Living Forest is an ideal blend of art and science that immerses you deep into the woods from the comfort of your home.

Robert Llewellyn has been photographing plants and landscapes for almost forty years. His photographs have been featured in major art exhibits, and more than thirty books featuring his photography are in print. His 2007 book, Empires of the Forest?won five national awards in nonfiction and photography, and The Capital was an official diplomatic gift of the White House and State Department.

Joan Maloof is a scientist, writer, and the founder and director of the Old-Growth Forest network, a nonprofit organization creating a network of forests across the U.S. that will remain forever unlogged and open to the public. She studied plant science at the University of Delaware, environmental science at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and ecology at the University of Maryland College Park. She is the author of?Teaching the Trees,?Among the Ancients, and Nature's Temples.
