"Wisconsin's vast woodlands and logging heritage have sparked a vibrant chainsaw culture. Chainsaw Love is a literary exploration of the impact of chainsaws and the people who use them. People make their living with chainsaws. They make art and war with them. Without chainsaws, the power grid would collapse as trees grow into utility lines. More than 3 million chainsaws are sold per year in the US. According to author James Card, the chainsaw is the most overlooked invention of the last century. yet it has changed the composition of the world's forests and the revolutionized the global logging industry. Each chapter illuminates the social history of the chainsaw through the lens a chainsaw-related activity in Wisconsin, from cutting firewood and clearing land for utilities, to making furniture and crafting art, to innovating the design of the machine itself. In his journalistic style, the author interviews chainsaw users and collectors to present a range of voices telling their chainsaw stories"-- Provided by publisher.
