Urban Forestry: Planning and Managing Urban Greenspaces
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
It is an interesting book. Relatively easy to read. Well organized. It would be nice to have more examples. Lists are good but they need to be substantiated. I also found the appendices to be nearly useless. There are many many pages of appendices and they really do not serve any purpose. It would be better just to delete those pages and give us a cheaper price. I bet we paid a lot for those appendices. So yes the price is high. I would liked to have seen many more diagrams. The ones present are helpful. The book needs editing in some sections. Overall, I give it a 3.5.
