This is a handy book for anyone who wants to arm up with evidence around why the logging of old growth forests continues to be a very bad thing. Lindenmayer covers the economics, ecology, impact on climate change and impact on wellbeing of the industry. 
This is not a book which will convince the unconverted, however. Lindenmayer pulls no punches, and his combative style combined with a tendency to self-cite a lot, will probably mean this book is destined for the shelves of those already in agreement.  This also applies in some of his frustrations delivered at writers such as Bill Gammage and Bruce Pascoe.
His endorsement of Victor Steffenson's work has reminded me I should get around to reading that one.
