Written in simple prose, this biography tells the story of Julia Hill, who spent 738 days sitting in a redwood to prevent it from being cut down. Briefly discussed are the environmental impact of clear-cutting and Hill's childhood. However, no context is given for the sometimes controversial eco-terrorist environmentalist groups and practices. The book is illustrated with color photos and includes a timeline. Bib., ind.

Additional information describes the habits and physiology of this largest of primates. Bib., ind.
