Sequoias turned to stone have been found in Greenland. Greenland then was "green" indeed, a lovely spot on the earth's surface.

Now it is a frozen waste; these stone trees alone remind us of what it was like ages ago. To-day, in the twentieth century, but a few of these sequoias remain.

Their home is on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in California, where they grow more than a mile above the level of the sea. These trees of wonderful age were first discovered less than a hundred years ago.

In 1841 an old hunter and explorer named John Bid well was making a trip on foot through the mountain woodlands of eastern California. One day he came upon a group of monster trees.

There were at least a hundred of them standing together. He had never seen trees half so large as these, and when he returned to his home he told his friends wonderful tales of the forest giants he had seen.

Those trees are now owned by the government of the United States. They form what is known as the Calaveras Grove.

Following the evolution of business attitudes toward environmental concerns, Esty and Winston offer a series of fascinating plays by corporations such as Wal-Mart, GE and Chiquita (Banana), the bad guys who made good, and the good guys-watchdogs and industry associations, mostly-working behind the scenes. A vast number of topics huddle beneath the umbrella of threats to the earth, and many get a thorough analysis here: from global warming to electronic waste "take-back" legislation to subsidizing sustainable seafood.

For the responsible business leader, this volume provides plenty of (organic) food for thought. " The leading guide to driving growth and profits through green strategy--now revised and updated "Green to Gold provides the definitive thinking on how business leaders can address environmental issues.

Green to Gold blazes a trail for businesses of all kinds to follow." --Michael Morris, CEO, American Electric Power "Rich with both big-picture thinking and practical suggestions.
