Descriere magazin:
A young woman named Julia Butterfly Hill climbed a 200-foot 1,000 year-old redwood in December 1997. She didn\'t come down for 738 days. The tree, dubbed Luna, was ready to be cut by a corporation and Hill\'s action was part of an Earth First! devised tree sit-in to protest the logging. The Legacy of Luna, part diary, part treatise, and part New Age spiritual journey, is the story of Hill\'s two-year arboreal odyssey. Photos. On December 18, 1999, Julia Butterfly Hill\'s feet touched the ground for the first time in over two years, as she descended from Luna, a thousandyear-old redwood in Humboldt County, California.Hill had climbed 180 feet up into the tree high on a mountain on December 10, 1997, for what she thought would be a two- to three-week-long tree-sit.

Shenever expected to be honored as one of Good Housekeeping\'s Most Admired Women of 1998 and George magazine\'s 20 Most Interesting Women in Politics, to be featured in People magazine\'s 25 Most Intriguing People of the Year issue, or to receive hundreds of letters weekly from young people around the world. Indeed, when she first climbed into Luna, she had no way of knowing the harrowing weather conditions and the attacks on her and her cause. She had no idea of the loneliness she would face or that her feet wouldn\'t touch ground for more than two years. She couldn\'t predict the pain of being an eyewitness to the attempted destruction of one of the last ancient redwood forests in the world, nor could she anticipate the immeasurable strength sh
