Designed to work effectively both as a manual for the logging industry and as a textbook for timber harvesting courses. The sequence of the chapters on logging and associated activities coincides with the consecutive steps in logging--from acquiring the timber through its final transport. This Second Edition emphasizes environmental considerations--such as the increasing need to reduce excessive soil movement and subsequent siltation.
