In a Dark Wood: The Fight over Forest and the New Tyranny of Ecology

Abstract: A biocentric view of the world, based on nature worship, gives plants and animals priority over human needs. This view leads to the concept of ecosystems, which the author demonstrates to be flawed and harmful to both conservation of the natural environment and human society.

Keywords: book review, environment, biocentric, ecosystems, old growth forests, Northwest, Pacific, spotted owl, conservation, logging, endangered species, biocentrism, alternative religions, ecology.
