Mechanisms and Deployment of Resistance in Trees to Insects is a
worldwide synthesis of tree resistance to insects. The
contributions are by senior scientists and represent all the major
forested regions of the world. The book constitutes a comprehensive
treatment of the state of our knowledge on patterns of resistance
by insect guilds and how this knowledge can be deployed to achieve
the management of damaging forest insects. This book will serve as
an essential reference book for all researchers and practitioners
attempting to manage forest pests using genetic resistance.
The forests of West Africa are complex, beautiful and under
continued threat of over exploitation. This monograph, in its
second edition, remains the only comprehensive source of
information on economically important forest insects in West
Africa. Many pest insects discussed in this book have the potential
to greatly alter the utilization of these valuable tropical
forests. Several key pests such as mahogany shoot borer, odum
gallfly and pests of endangered tree species like Pericopsis, are
extensively discussed. This comprehensive treatise of insects
includes information on the general forest cover types and insects
of utilitarian value. The book will be a great value to foresters,
forest entomologists, researchers, conservation biologists and
others with a basic biological interest in West African forests.

the use of practical computer applications. This trusted resource
teaches present and future managers how to use and understand
statistics without an overdose of technical detail, enabling them
to better understand the concepts at hand and to interpret results.
The text uses excellent examples with real world data relating to
business sector functional areas such as finance, accounting, and
marketing. Written in an engaging style, this timely revision is
class-tested and designed to help students gain a solid
understanding of fundamental statistical principles without bogging
them down with excess mathematical details.
