the body language of Decay, The Delights of D

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Ok I can splash out £110 if it is as good as what I am reading in this thread? I have a growing library of arb books and her indoors may just put her foot down if I can't be reassured. Go on sell me it in your best sales pitch and I'll cough up! Is your book anywhere near started?

 

I like pictures too and lots of them - they paint a thousand words!

 

The book mentioned is the very best available on the subject at this moment in time, If you want to know about fungi their effects on trees etc then buy it, its one of my top 5:thumbup1:

 

ok, let me put it this way, I bought it when I was flat broke, its that good:001_cool:

Good thread...nice catching up !

Cant be arsed to post in the thread named...whatever it was...but I read your post tony re : get out; we all butchers. I share this view and feel strongly . I find many of the sentiments you have expressed variously in forum strike a chord of agreement with my own . Perhaps to my detriment , I have never really felt arsed to argue with the tendency for slagging and "flaming" which was largely unchecked at the outset of this forum...I dont have these problems in the real world....

HOWEVER....If some arb takes a client, tries, using professional training and insight, to represent them for a fee....it falls to the other professionals to use their knowledge to refute claims of safety etc....

What I have a problem with is people using knowledge as a weapon..."i know something you dont, and Im going to profit from it!"- kinda thing.

If you tell the client they haven't a hope in hell of getting it felled..its your opinion They can pay you to prepare a report and then have it turned down...Whats the difference?

See ya'

Hi hama, what would your top 5 be, I have a birthday coming up looking at maybe diagnosis and prognosis or fungal strategies of wood decay - could you maybe give a few pros/cons for each? Or suggest something entirely different? Like wait for yours!

Thanks for putting that link up Bundle:001_cool:

 

That it is out of print is both a sad and a good thing, it means its been sold out of its origional run, bad cos we cant buy it!

 

a well worthwhile investment and essential reference for the arborist IMO
