One reviewer notes that the book distills the essential elements of complex topics and relates them to forest management.  Another notes it is a primer for anyone to develop ecological literacy regarding forests and our efforts to manage them.  This Third Edition has doubled in the number of pages since the Second Edition with text and figures reflecting changes and updates in forest ecology and silviculture since 2000.  The Third Edition has been modified to approach forest ecology and silviculture from a national coterminous perspective rather than from a concentration on the Northeast region of the United States.
