Introduction to Forestry and Natural Resources
Author: Donald L. GrebnerPublisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128190760
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 513
Book Description
Introduction to Forestry and Natural Resources, Second Edition, presents a broad, completely updated overview of the profession of forestry. The book details several key fields within forestry, including forest management, economics, policy, utilization and forestry careers. Chapters deal specifically with forest regions of the world, landowners, forest products, wildlife habitats, tree anatomy and physiology, and forest disturbances and health. These topics are ideal for undergraduate introductory courses and include numerous examples and questions for students to ponder. There is also a section dedicated to forestry careers. Unlike other introductory forestry texts, which focus largely on forest ecology rather than practical forestry concepts, this book encompasses the economic, ecological and social aspects, thus providing a uniquely balanced text. The wide range of experience of the contributing authors equips them especially well to identify missing content from other texts in the area and address topics currently covered in corresponding college courses. - Covers the application of forestry and natural resources around the world with a focus on practical applications and graphical examples - Describes basic techniques for measuring and evaluating forest resources and natural resources, including fundamental terminology and concepts - Includes management policies and their influence at the local, national and international levels

ISBN:
Category : Conservation of natural resources

Pages : 124
Book Description
A very thorough Library of Congress bibliography (complete with Library of Congress call numbers) of books and articles on various aspects of conservation as defined in strictly utilitarian, economic and scientific terms. Topically organized (e.g., "General," "Mineral," "Water," "Forests," "Land and Soil," etc.); includes some 600 entries and author and subject indices. Still extremely useful to researchers in these areas of conservation history in this era, this work also suggests how conservation was most clearly defined in the public mind at this time, and the degree to which it had come to assume unquestioned importance in American public policy.
