Bridgit got me this for Christmas and I have been meaning to do a writeup on it for a while. The book is somewhat lacking in some aspects, its not the best writing or anything. It is interesting and full of interesting stuff. Wood is used for so many things. The author covers uses for wood in golf clubs, baseball bats, Steinway pianos, houses, and more. Economic and management were really interesting. I learned all about ship building and that during the Revolutionary War we choked England of good stock for ship masts.
Overall the book was good and interesting to read. I have passed it on to others to read.
