100 pages. Abundantly illustrated in colour. Includes references, glossary and index. "...In a province heavily dependent on its forest products, and as rugged and mountainous as British Columbia, the evidence of logging activity cannot be hidden from view. Nor should we, except in special situations, try to do so. Rather, the Ministry objective will be to address the visual impacts of logging activity on the landscape and incorporate measures to harmonize such impacts. This handbook addresses this objective. It is considered an important tool for the use of those involved in forest, range and recreation management. It is also recommended as a reference source to the wider audience which is interested in the scenic quality of the managed landscapes of the Province." - from the Foreward. Part I examines The Forest Landscape: fundamental elements and factors, visual impacts and perceptions. Part II examines Forest Landscape Management - Techniques and Practices: implementation overview, landscape inventory, detailed landscape analysis, design lay-out, logging and silvicultural practices and follow-up. Appendices include: Identification of Viewpoints and Visible Area Plotting Techniques; Visual Quality Objectives (VQO's); Design Plotting Techniques; Visual Absorption Cabability (VAC); The Use of Computers.

In the Pacific Northwest, one of the principal forest growing areas of the world, the evaluation of the soil as a factor in the production of forest resources has an even shorter history, but a great deal of progress has been made.

Chapters include: Geology of the Douglas-Fir Region; The Klamath Mountains and Coast Ranges of Northern California; The Oregon and Washington Coast Ranges; The Willamette Valley; The Cascade Range in Oregon and Southern Oregon; The Olympic Mountains Province; Northern Cascade Mountains; Surficial Geology of the Puget Sound Lowlands; The San Juan Islands; Bedrock Geology of Vancouver; Suricial Geology of Vancouver Island; Geologic Look at Soils of the Douglas-Fir Region; Geology Glossary; Climate; Vegetation; Physical Properties and Physical Behavior of Forest Soils; Minerals, Chemical Properties and Fertility of Forest Soils; Organic Matter of Forest Soils; Forest Soils Biology; Soil Formation, Classification and Morphology; Forest Soil Survey; The Cycling of Elements Within Forests; Forest Soil Productivity Relationships; Soil, Vegetation and Watershed Management; Forest Chemicals in Watershed Management; Some Engineering Aspects of Forest Soils; Soil Management in Douglas-fir Nurseries; Forest Fertilization Practices.
