This is the first book to tackle all the issues relating to timber decay. It presents the facts and explores timber decay problems through case studies. These are illustrated with clear self-explanatory photographs for the reader to use as a diagnostic aid. Section 1 discusses timber as a living material; Section 2 deals with decay organisms and their habitat requirements. Section 3 moves on to the building as an environment for timber and discusses the ways in which wood responds to moisture change. Section 4 ends with an approach to timber decay which integrates knowledge on the decay organism; its requirements and natural predators with appropriate and targeted chemical treatments.

The book covers a range of well-informed; intelligent analysis of the subject. It is a must-read for anyone with an interest in contemporary art and its most recent developments. The book could also be considered as a useful classroom text and a source for research; with an excellent reference section.0 of 22 people found the following review helpful.
