Hi Guys.Does anybody know what Is difference between The Body Language of Trees: A Handbook for Failure Analysis (Research for Amenity Trees  from Forestry Comission  And The Body Language of Trees by Claus Mattheck?What Is better?

thnx

I can't remember the differences, but you could go a bit further and look at the encyclopaedia. 

 

I think its it's meant to cover the topics in most of the earlier books, in a single volume.

Definitely good advice Gary. Or just get them all!

looking at some of the 'book' posts I think if it's difficult for lads on the tools to really see the investment in books. Hundreds of pounds on tools and equipment? You can see a rapid return in that they'll earn you money. Books are something else. They are a lot of money, you'll need to read lots of them and the return is long term.

 

I know that I was really lucky when I started back at college, being fairly financially secure with enough disposable income to buy what I needed. 

 

Im really sympathetic to the 'youngsters' who want to learn but restricted by the cost of it. 

 

If there's anyone around Manchester who's studying and struggling to get access to books, I'm quite happy to lend whatever I have (but I'd like em back) if they PM me.
