The Management of Forests
About this book
Originally published in 1968, this book discusses the principles and methods on which forest management has been founded in the past and how these principles and methods still apply or are affected by modern management skills, changing demands, social habits and resources. The book is concerned mainly with the technical aspects of forestry and the classic foundations of management. To a lesser degree it deals with commercial efficiency, labour relations and the implications of these. The historical chapter shows the tends in the development of forestry, particularly in Europe.
