    I will put you down top of the list, DONT lose it! as for the scopes, well, dreams and goals, but this book club is important to me. These books made me (at least in part) the arb I am today, to give others the chance to read these and also be influenced and maybe start their own learning path is just too important to me, more important than scopes or any of my personal dreams. One day I will have every book available, books are to me the greatest of things, such power and potential wihin a book, I love reading.

    I have made several purchases today from treesource so will be adding a few titles to the list in due course, im still waiting for an advertiser to get back to me fromAT regarding a new tree biology too. H. Butin tree diseases and disorders Principles of hazard assessment and management Lonsdale a vital book for the arb, a very very good guide with much to stimulate the mind and influence ones development. Still one of the best and most important books in arb today 14 years old and going strong.

    maybe gerrit will explain why native trees are the desired path too? Gerrit if your listening can you explain to rboin why native woodland and not exotic species choices are so important?

    also look into the interwoven communication and transport of resources from one tree to another even of other species via mycorhizea, look at soil bacteria, and read also ecology of mycorrhizae by F allen

    when youve studied sucsesion and soils through ages you might bin the non natives ideas. it wasnt just preach, irrational too, and why I reffered to you being trained, you do not see how deep that implies. do you hold dear objectivity and rational thinking, do you believe that science has the only truth?

    For anyone who wants to know (my opinion) we are losing our life support system, its up to you what YOU do about it. if you do not apppreciate me preahing to you about it tough, somebody has to wake this generation up. Fortunatley there is a very active and noticable shift in thinking, but population is a bigger problem and until thats resolved no counter measures will be adequate. your planet is being killed, and as rob eludes to this will see a new eco system evolve, free from US, the choice is yours.

    To be honest robin im feeling pretty crap right now about this thread, danavans made a good post, but when people screw the theme I prefer to let threads die and gather dust in the vaults.

    they can be very similar in form and there is only two ways to seperate. one using a sope, the other the presence of the food source. they are both parasites of other fungi, mesenterica eats peniophora (crust fungi) (the purple tones in that beech twig) aurantia eats the stereums (usualy hirsutum)

    brown oak if good quality is highly sought after, rare to get large volumes of really good brown oak, hence the price fetched
