This Book Describes The Principles And Methods Of Logging Operations In All The Timber Regions. Logging Is The Important Part Of Forestry In Which Our Woods Are Treated And A Future Supply Of Timber Is Assured Or The Areas Are Left In Unproductive Conditions. It Is An Epic Story Of Courage, Great Hazards And Difficulties Overcome, Success And Failure In A Struggle To Provide Some Of The Necessities Of Mankind. A More Scientific Approach Has Been Made To The Problems Of Logging, And The Profitability Of Removing The Logs Of Different Species And Sizes From Our Woods Has Been More Accurately Determined. Mechanized Logging Has Made Important Advances Especially Feeling, Bucking, And Log Loading. Progress In Prelogging, Relogging, Integrated Logging, And Salvage Cuttings Has Presented New Phases Of The Industry That Are Important In Handling Our Forest Resources. It Is Hoped That This Book Will Help The Student And Possibly The Operator To Gain A Better Understanding Of Some Of The Logging Methods.

Excerpt from Logging: The Principles and General Methods of Operation in the United States This volume has been prepared as a text-book for use in Forest Schools. The subject is broad in scope and an attempt has been made to cover only the more important features of operation; hence the innumerable variations in equipment and method which are peculiar to different forest regions are not included. Of the many minor industries related to logging, only two of the more important are treated, turpentine orchard ing and tanbark harvesting. One of the most difficult and costly features of a logging operation is the movement of the timber from the stump to the manufacturing plant and the chief facilities and methods for doing this are discussed at length, especially logging rail roads. The greatest emphasis is laid on features about which there is not much written material available, while engineering subjects such as road surveys and the measurement of earth work and rock-work are omitted because they are treated in numerous other text-books.

The introduction of chain saws and tractors in the early 1950's marked the beginning of a change in tree harvesting techniques from the old manual methods to mechanized operations. It was followed by a rapid evolution both technically and systematically. Hence, the requirements for improved know ledge of operational efficiency also increased. Changing relations between Man, machines and environment brought about new experiences and awareness of a physiological and ergonomic nature. Improved knowledge of both machine technology and planning of work on a small or large scale has grown increa singly important for an efficient utilization of expensive machines and other equipment. The need for a textbook on tree harvesting techniques including expe riences made in recent years is enhanced. The book presented here is prima rily based on lectures given on the subject of Forest Techniques at the Faculty of Forestry at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and after modifications also at the University of Nairobi (Kenya). Thus, the book is written primarily for students at the faculties and institutes of forestry. However, it is also useful for persons actively occupied in forest operations. The presentation of this book in its original Swedish version in 1972 created a considerable interest in the preparation of a condensed edition in English. Thus interest has been expressed in Finland, Norway, Holland, Canada, U.S.A., Brazil, Japan, Poland, Scotland and Yugoslavia.

Dr Williams begins by exploring the role of the forest in American culture: the symbols, themes, and concepts - for example, pioneer woodsman, lumberjack, wilderness - generated by contact with the vast land of trees. He considers the Indian use of the forest, describing the ways in which native tribes altered it, primarily through fire, to promote a subsistence economy.
