Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Forest Products Their Manufacture and Use: Embracing the Principal Commercial Features in the Production, Manufacture, and Utilization of the Most Important Forest Products Other Than Lumber, in the United States The object of this book is to present to the student or reader the chief commercial features involved in the manufacture and use of the principal forest products except lumber, and to serve as a reference book for those interested in them. The treatment of the subjects, therefore, has necessarily been very brief. A book could easily be written on each subject, but the curricula of the professional forest schools usually do not provide for extensive study and investigation of each product, unless special and separate courses are offered in such subjects as pulp and papermaking. It is impossible to include in a book of this kind some of the wood-using industries which are closely associated with lumber and its uses, such as the furniture industry. ship building and car construction, etc., because they belong in a separate category. The important problem has been to determine what to include in a book of this kind, and to discriminate and to exclude some of the less essential material. It is planned to make this volume a brief treatise preliminary to a more complete and exhaustive work or group of books to be written at some later date. Although there are more or less statistical data available on some of the industries treated in this book, there has been very little written in American forestry literature on the principles and practices followed in the production of materials other than lumber.From the viewpoint of invested capital, and value of products, they are of greater importance, collectively, than lumber. The values and conditions used in this book are largely given for the period prior to the participation of this country in the war. This has been deemed advisable because of the wholly abnormal and somewhat temporary conditions brought about by the war itself. Much of the data has been obtained as the result of personal investigation and inspection of operations in the South, the Lake States, the Northeast, and the Far West during the past ten years.
