Reviews / Votes

'The authors have succeeded in their aim of producing a source of reference for practitioners, researchers and students of forestry and vegetation management.' -- Peter Eckersley, The Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics '. . . this is a neat introduction to contemporary small-scale forestry for students and practitioners alike. I recommend it.' -- Anitra Nelson, Australian Journal of Environmental Management 'The book provides a comprehensive coverage of the key issues relating to non-industrial forestry. Its case studies provide a useful insight into how small-scale forestry is treated in other countries. The case studies emphasise the broad range of systems and the broad application of small-scale forestry as well as the need for a broad policy approach to deal with small-scale forestry systems. The book fills an important gap in the available literature on non-industrial private and community forestry, identifying the multi-use values of small-scale forestry and the non-wood benefits it provides. It offers a range of tools for assessing the economic performance of small-scale forestry, and calculating the non-wood benefits. The book provides a useful reference for researchers with an interest in natural resource management and a useful text for students.' -- Peter Grist, Economic Analysis and Policy
