Format:Paperback
Because of their size, trees are inherently hazardous, and the materials they are made from are biodegradable. They pose a risk to us, albeit we cannot live without them. David Lonsdale has devoted his life to observing and understanding trees, and is a recognised world expert on the subject of this book, namely the management of trees in order to meet the potentially conflicting objectives of minimising risk while prolonging their life. His book: illustrates the hazards that arise from growth or decay of trees: describes the latest scientific understanding of the causes and significance of the hazards: provides methods of making objective inspections of trees: suggests remedial and preventative action to reduce hazards, and reviews the importance of trees in our lives. This is one of those rare books that tells you what you want to know simply, without fuss or confusion. It has relevance wherever trees have to be managed, in urban or rural situations. Although the decay organisms described refer to those found in Britain and Europe, the fundamantal principles he devises for the sympathetic management of trees apply throughout the world. This book will become the standard reference for the subject, and will remain so for many years. It will be the vade mecum for arboriculturists, tree doctors, foresters, tree officers and insurers and lawyers involved in tree litigation. I commend it.
Format:Paperback
This book are 'An Arboricultural Must' if you do work within the Arboricultural Sector, well written-but mostly written for 'people' working within the Arboricultural Industry. Factual and heavy on technical terms, used for trees.
