Pearse's 1990 textbook has influenced a whole generation of forest economists in Canada. This new book by Zhang and Pearse holds the promise of serving as an important reference on forest economics in North America and elsewhere in the Englishspeaking world for many years to come. - Dr. Sen Wang, Canadian Forest Service (Forest Chronicle)
