About this title

Review:

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This is the best urban forestry text published in recent years. ... The second edition of Kuser’s popular ... volume includes 16 new or revised chapters of 26 total. It is a wonderful compilation of information pertinent to this rapidly growing field, which offers tremendous job opportunities as the population continues to urbanize. ... this book is destined to be a classic--one that this reviewer plans to use in his own course on the subject next year. Summing Up: Essential. All levels." (D. F. Karnosky, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (10), June, 2007)

Synopsis:

This book is designed to be used as a textbook for Urban/Community Forestry courses and a handbook for Shade Tree Commissions, tree wardens, State and National Forestry Services, and professional societies. The chapters have been written by experts in each subfield who are active practitioners. Designed urban environments and community forests are the only structures that appreciate in size and value, whereas all other built structures depreciate. The quality of life and sense of community that comes from our urban and community forests is enhanced when we can derive benefits from the living landscape.
