The textbook, intended for students of timber technology and undergraduates studying plant sciences, was written to replace Jane's 'The structure of wood' which is out of print. There are 10 chapters: Sources of timber; The structural organization of a tree; Tree growth at the cellular level; The anatomy of secondary xylem: I Conifers (softwoods); The anatomy of secondary xylem: II Dicotyledons (hardwoods); The ultrastructure of wood - its importance in understanding wood properties; Wood surfaces and their underlying structure; Variability of wood; Reaction wood - its structure, properties and functions; and The identification of timbers. An appendix lists, by Latin and common names, all timbers referred to in the book.
