Preface and Acknowledgments
One reason for presentation of a book on comparative wood anatomy is that no recent book solely on this topic has been written. Those familiar with wood anatomy are certainly familiar with other books dealing with various ofits aspects, such as identification, dendrology, dendrochronoloGy, and other aspects closely related to comparative wood anatomy. These books are certainly part of the field of comparative wood anatomy and are cited in Chapter 1 and elsewhere in this book. The purpose oftbis book is not to duplicate those efforts, but to offer a volume that has a different focus. This book assumes that the readerwill have an elementary knowledge ofthe subject, such as might be obtained in a course in plant anatomy. Because comparative wood anatomy deals w
