Gifford Pinchot - Training of a Forester

Written by a forester, this book looks at the definition of «forest», what the life of a forester entails, discusses the forest service both on the state and national levels, and the training required to be a forester. As a forester himself, and the chief of the US Forest Service, Pinchot was a foremost expert in this topic,and, based on his preface to the work, seems to expect this work to either encourage or dissuade young people from a life in forestry. — Summary by KHand
