This was a pretty good textbook. Written by various authors and covering a large range of topics. It was very readable and had useful charts and graphs.

My only issue would be that in my job I see a lot of the effects of poor forestry practices and feel this issue deserves more coverage in an introductory text to high-light its seriousness. I think that chapters should be added on best management practices and the effects of poor forestry practices.
