Forest Health and Protection

Great source of study. I have my BSc in Forestry Engineering but studied it in another language so I am crossing bk over to english and its been a great tool of study...very detailed....and has international examples which helps me alot as i am not from the states.

Forest Health and Protection is an excellent book which include an actual vision the three aspects very important in forest ecosystems. It is a contribution in the forest protection.

My prof is one of the authors....so of course I love it. But really it is a very good introductory text to the subject.

Informative textbook! Got me through many quizzes!

Great prices

This is a softcover reissue of a hardcover text put out previously by McGraw Hill. The content is unchanged, but students will be happy that it's about half the price of the original. It appears tightly bound, durable. The paper is thicker and coarser and so the photos have lost some detail, mostly more contrast and darker. Otherwise I'm very pleased with it. I've been using the previous edition for the past four years as the text for my Forest Protection class at Humboldt State University and I find it's a great overview of wildland fire, forest entomology, and forest pathology. The section on animal damage is deficient, extremely small, and requires supplemental material. Otherwise it's a great desktop reference, good coverage of the material by knowledgable authors, and you cannot beat the value.

This book is very useful if you need to know how a forest works, and how to keep it sustainable through human and non-human activity. Easily understandable, this book makes for light reading in spare time. A+ book!
