This book by Kondas is a fine exposition of the basics of forestry and principles of tropical forest ecosystem management, with special reference to south India. A forester with four decades of field experience, he connects theory with practice easily and, in the process, brings out the essence of sustainable forest management. The work is thus a welcome departure from the usual tomes of emotive green outpouring.
