This book is primarily a general text covering the whole sweep of
the forest industries. The over-riding emphasis is on a clear,
simple interpretation of the underlying science, demonstrating how
such principles apply to processing operations. The book starts by
considering the broad question what is wood? by looking at the
biology, chemistry and physics of wood structure (first 4
chapters). This sets the scene. Next key chapters examine wood
quality - explaining how and why wood quality can be so variable
and implications for processing. Finally, in a series of chapters,
various industrial processes are reviewed and interpreted. The 2nd
Edition is a total revision. A few chapters remain relatively
unchanged (no change for the sake of change). Many have been
totally rewritten. All chapters have been written by specialists,
but the presentation targets a generalist audience.
