Shigo's worldwide photo guide to tree pruning

Dr Alex Shigo almost singlehandedly revolutionized the tree-care industry by researching how trees work, and how they deal with injuries (including pruning) and decay. This book uses color photos and clear explanations of how pruning should be done for the most benefit to a tree itself and to the people who share its space, for maximum beauty, safety and serviceability. I used to have a copy of this book, but evidently somebody liked it even better than I did. The copy I'm buying will be my second, and I don't plan to lend it out!
