Fragments from Forests and Libraries
Edited by Janet Hoskins, Fragments from Forests and Libraries is a compilation of important articles by Valerio Valeri, a scholar whose research ranged from the rainforests of the island of Seram to European archives and libraries. Along with nine essays previously published in English, the book contains a number of studies translated for the first time and one unpublished work. This book is part of the Ritual Studies Monograph Series, edited by Pamela J. Stewart and Andrew Strathern, Department of Anthropology, University of Pittsburgh. "Throughout, the writing is scholarly, steeped in an unusually extensive knowledge of European history and philosophy, which Valeri often brings to bear in unexpected and illuminating ways on the complexities of Huaulu life....This will be a most useful text in undergraduate and postgraduate courses in anthropology, not least because, in its independence of thought, broad range of interests, and its refusal to specialize narrowly, it sets an example we all should try to emulate." -- Simon Harrison, The Journal of The Royal Anthropological Institute, September 2003
Innovation in Forestry
Innovation in Forestry Territorial and Value Chain Relationships Edited by Gerhard Weiss, Davide Pettenella, Pekka Ollonqvist and Bill Slee Innovation is increasingly recognized as a key factor in environmental protection and sustainable development in forestry and forest-based industries. This volume provides a comprehensive theoretical foundation for the analysis of innovation processes and policies in a traditional, rural sector as well as presenting empirical analyses of innovation processes from major innovation areas. Innovative solutions are analysed in wood-related value chains, including timber-frame construction, furniture, bio-energy and forest transportation. Territorial services of the forest sector are examined, including various types of forest ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, non-wood products and recreation. Innovation in Forestry is essential reading for researchers and policy makers in forestry and environmental sciences.

The Silviculture of Trees Used in British Forestry
This book aims to provide a guide for selecting species and managing trees. The requirements of each of the 63 species from 35 genera are described for areas in which they are likely to do well. Further, the book provides information about the origin and introduction (where applicable) of each species, climatic and site requirements, other silvicultural characteristics, pests and diseases, natural regeneration, provenance, seed production, nursery treatment, yield and timber characteristics. The book concludes with two simple keys for identifying the tree most likely to be encountered in woods.
