"This book is a must read...perfect for advanced undergraduate
courses and ...as a reference manual for professional foresters
working on aspect of silviculture, forest management or forest
genetics. This reviewer looks forward to using excerpts for a
forest genetics course and to establish this book as a class
resource for years to come."-- "Choice"
"This is an excellent book that should receive widespread adoption
and use in the coming years."-- "BioScience"
