Reviews
Kimmins presents the scientific principles related to forest ecosystems in a well-written and easy-to-understand style and format. He also identifies the importance of the social factors contributing to the forestry debate. Balancing Act provides an excellent foundation and up-to-date resource for both the novice and those more directly involved in the forestry/environmental debate. - Environmental Review I know of no other book that addresses the array of issues discussed in Balancing Act ... The careful, comprehensive, cohesive, and authoritative arguments presented by the author on the environmental issues facing forestry at the present time represent an outstanding contribution to the debate. - Roy E. Sutton, Senior Scientist, Forestry Canada Kimmins has presented a clear and easily understood description of the challenges, complexities, and problems facing forestry in today's climate of environmental awareness and concern ... Balancing Act should be closely read by foresters, environmentalists, and anyone who is interested in the forestry/environment debate. - C.A. Lee, Global Biodiversity

Dvd arrived quickly and well packaged and taken care of. The item was listed as acceptable and met all of my needs but here's a quick description of what I got: Some wear is visible on the plastic sleeve on the outside of the case. The inside leaflet was still there! The disk has about 3 very notable scratches, although none are bigger than about 2 centimeters. Little to no grime anywhere on the product. Great service!
