About the Book

Winner of a 2009 Outstanding Academic Title (OAT) award! Trees continue to maintain a unique significance in the social, ecological and economic systems of the world - as large, long-lived perennials covering 30% of land on Earth; their very nature dictates their importance. An understanding of forest genetics is essential for providing insight into the evolution, conservation, management and sustainability of both natural and managed forests.Providing a comprehensive introduction to the principles of genetics as important to forest trees, this text integrates the varied sub-disciplines of genetics and their applications in gene conservation, tree improvement and biotechnology. Topics discussed include genetic variation in natural forest trees, the application of genetics in tree improvement and breeding programs, and genomic sciences and molecular technologies.

Review :
"This book is a must read...perfect for advanced undergraduate courses and ...as a reference manual for professional foresters working on aspect of silviculture, forest management or forest genetics. This reviewer looks forward to using excerpts for a forest genetics course and to establish this book as a class resource for years to come."--Choice "This is an excellent book that should receive widespread adoption and use in the coming years."--BioScience

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
