CANOPY OF TITANS Makes An Impact

August 20, 2024 OR Books is proud to announce the impact Canopy of Titans, a powerful and insightful examination into the global importance of the Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest, has had since its publishing in August 2023. 

The book has been honored with five literary awards, reflecting its timely relevance in the current global climate context. It was also endorsed by environmental activist and founder of 350.org Bill McKibben, who writes: “We've understood that the Amazon rainforest is crucial to the planet but, as this very fine book makes clear, it is no more important than the great temperate forests of the Pacific coast.” Pulitzer-prize winning writer Elizabeth Kolbert also recommends the book, calling it “an eloquent plea for saving one of North America's last great forests.” 

In this urgent and authoritative account, authors Paul Koberstein and Jessica Applegate pull back the curtain on policies of governmental bodies that have seriously diminished the rainforest’s capacity to store carbon, and uncover industry practices that have led to the destruction of swaths of a major ecological resource. 

Awards Include: 

  • Oregon Book Awards Finalist
  • National Indie Excellence Award, First Place in the Environment category
  • Nautilus Award, Silver Award in the category of Restorative Earth Practices 
  • Independent Publisher IPPY Awards, Silver Medal in the Environment/Ecology category
  • Foreword Review of Books INDIES Award, Honorable Mention in the Ecology & Environment category 

Please respond if you would like a review copy or to interview the authors.
