Book: Forestry A-z In the early days of logging and for many modern forest workers, quitting time means heading back to camp. In camp, crews clean up, eat, get their tools ready for the next day and, perhaps, wash their sweaty socks. How is plywood made? What are dozer boats? How has forestry changed in the last century? These questions and dozens more are answered in Forestry A-Z, both in the informative and fascinating text and in the beautiful photographs. In writing this book, Kathleen Cook Waldron and Ann Walsh consulted dozens of experts. In illustrating it, Bob Warick traveled British Columbia for a full year, capturing our forests and forestry through the seasons.
Book Reviews of Forestry A-z
Forestry A-Z Review by Kathleen Cook WaldronFrom tables, chairs, and salad bowls to musical instruments, paper, and perhaps even the framework of our home itself, we all use and benefit from wood products. Many families work in the forest industry, but few people know how their work translates into a sustainable resource for the rest of us. Ann Walsh and I both live in forest-based communities and we wanted to celebrate the richness and diversity of our forests as well as the people whose work depends on them. Bob Warick's spectacular photos capture both the beauty of our forests and the complexity of the work they create. We hope you'll enjoy our book!
