<p>Few textbooks have served a field of study as emphatically as the seventy-five years of continual availability of Introduction to Forests and Renewable Resources. Widely recognized for its encyclopedic yet engaging coverage, the Seventh Edition is an outstanding overview of natural resource management and conservation policies and practices. Well-illustrated and pedagogically rich, the volume starts with historical uses and ideas about forests and continues with the development of policy, protection laws, and public input. Next, the authors address the distribution, management, and protection of forests, beginning with an overview of North American forest regions. Thorough treatment of wildlife conservation, watersheds and streams, rangeland resources, and outdoor recreation is included in the section on forest-associated renewable resources. The focus then turns to the economics of the forest and evolving computerized techniques and Internet applications affecting management. Concluding chapters untangle the confusion over ownership of forests and the emerging influence of green certification of forests and forest products, in addition to providing vital information about international forestry.</p>
