DISEASES
OF TREES AND SHRUBS (2nd ed.)
William Sinclair, Howard Lyon. The present volume
is a thoroughgoing revision/updating of the volume first published in 1987.
The work is both a pictorial survey of the diseases of trees (forest and
shade trees) and woody ornamental shrubs in the U.S. and Canada, and a
diagnostic tool for identifying specific diseases. The changes in
this edition seek to make the volume more useful for classroom instruction
and for use by non-academics among professionals and the public. The second
edition is organized by kind of pathogen, and secondarily by disease type
or plant part. The color images have been increased by 15 percent,
and there are 101 b&w images, most of which illustrate microscopic
features of pathogens. In this edition, plant names are given first
in Latin, with common names presented parenthetically. Both a disease's
symptoms and signs and its disease cycle are presented more clearly than
in the first edition, and the diagnostic detail about pathogens, especially
microfungi, has been expanded. The reference list has been doubled,
now including more than 4000 titles, and the Index has been made more user
friendly. In addition, an accompanying CD-ROM contains all the individual
reference lists that will be represented only as lists of numbers on the
book's printed pages. It allows the book's users to consult the lists
when they want to find sources of information or additional information
or images. 9 x 12, 660p, 2200+ color illustrations, 261 color
photos, 350 b&w photos and drawings, 2005. OVERSIZE

important or striking problems are fully described and illustrated, and
their significance and control discussed. Includes: diagnostic procedure;
the known problems of virtually all tree genera used for amenity purposes
in Britain; prevention and treatment of pests, diseases and disorders;
decay and tree safety, and; more. 5-1/2 x 9-1/4, 334p, color photos, 2000.

for timber production, recreation and improvement of biodiversity.
Coverage includes: how forests have been transformed and this can contribute
to pest problems; the important elements and “techniques” of management
& control that contribute to IPM; the economic & environmental
impact of pests, the economics of control, and the role of decision support
systems, and; more. Includes detailed case studies. 7-1/2 x 10, 248p,
