Beautifully written and photographed, The Cook Forest:  An  Island in Time invites the majestic world of an eastern old-growth  forest.  Whether you are inclined to sit back and dream about remote  wild places or whether you wish to explore them for yourself, this book  is for you.  An Island in Time invites you to join in the appreciation  and preservation of one of Nature's great gifts. In this landmark  volume, Anthony E. Cook, the grandson of the man who deeded the Cook  Forest to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, captures the spirit and  rare beauty of this ancient forest with passion and an eye schooled in  Nature's artistry. An Island in Time is an unforgettable celebration of  a North American treasure.  The Cook Forest is one of the most  significant old-growth eastern hemlock forests still growing today.   Its very existence is a tribute to one of the earliest conservation  efforts in the United States. The book's remarkable historical  photographs depict the rugged life forged by the pioneers of this  country as they settled in the remote corners of the frontier.  The  book also tells the story of the incredible struggle of the Cook family  and conservationists in the early 1900s to preserve the remnant Cook  Forest-a struggle that helped inspire the creation of many of our  national parks.
