Ken Drushka analyses the changes in human attitudes towards the forests, detailing the rise of the late nineteenth-century conservation movement and its subsequent decline after World War I, the interplay between industry and government in the development of policy, the adoption of sustained yield policies after World War II, and the recent adoption of sustainable forest management in response to environmental concerns. Drushka argues that, despite the centuries of use, the Canadian forest retains a good deal of its vitality and integrity. Written in accessible language and aimed at a general readership, Canada's Forests will be a must-read for anyone interested in the debate about the current and future uses of this precious natural resource.

Canada's forests are one of its most important natural resources. Since the arrival of the earliet settlers, the forests have played a major role in the country's development, supplying the raw material for the necessities of life and for much of our industry. Completely revised and expanded, this edition of Canadian Woods is a comprehensive overview of a multi-faceted forest industry. Providing a complete review of the woods found in Canada and their commercial uses, it discusses the structure, the strength and physical properties, and the chemistry of wood, plus lumber production, wood drying, ood protection, and glues and gluing. Other chapters deal with the processing and use of woods and wood products, panel products, houses and structures, pulp and paper, and codes and standards in Canada. Lavishly illustrated with moer than 280 photographs and drawings, the newly revised Canadian Woods is an essential reference for students and practitioners in the forest professions and in primary and secondary forest industries.
