Treating forestry as part of our changing economic system  while still recognizing its biological foundations  this book examines the economic problems that arise when managing forests and how to approach them intelligently.

Also covered are the broad range of social problems associated with forest management. Special attention is given to the non-market determined values--recreation  aesthetics  etc. New information on the structure of U.S. wood products industries is provided  as well as a treatment of the role of forests and foresters in foreign trade  particularly with respect to development in the Third World.
