The Concise Encyclopedias draw relevant articles from the Encyclopedia of Materials Science and Engineering, the only complete reference work in this rapidly developing field. Where necessary, articles have been revised and new articles have been commissioned to provide current accounts of the most recent developments in each area. Copublished with Pergamon Press.

All aspects of wood as a material are covered extensively in this concise encyclopedia, including descriptions of the major commercial wood species of the world, the availability and the economics of timber resources, fundamental properties and behavior, factors causing deterioration and their control, and the principal methods of processing. The encyclopedia also discusses wood based materials, such as particleboard, plywood, hardboard, and paper, and woody materials, such as bamboo and rattan.

Review:
"The book presents a complete source of technical information for anyone who uses wood or who must make decisions on the use of wood, wood-based or woody materials. Therefore, it will be a valuable publication that wood technologists and any user of wood consult worldwide and which - even though not written as a textbook - will also widely be used as a standard reference for teaching wood technology." --Wood Science and Technology
