From logging and millwork to carpentry and silviculture, this alphabet book provides an overview of the jobs and issues of modern forestry. There's a lot of solid information, but it can be difficult to navigate; awkward, sometimes forced alliteration introduces each letter ("Bush work bogs down in breakup"). Many eye-catching photographs complement the text. "Fast Forestry Facts" are appended.
