美国商业木材

比作者选择的书名更适合这本书的书名应该是《木材生长与结构论文集》。读者会发现，在554页中，只有154页可以说是关于美国商业木材主题的信息：这154页包括75种木材，关于这些木材的信息有限，而且通常是高度技术性的。被命名的木材的用途仅来自美国国内的信息，看一眼书目就会发现，这可能是一项有点不足的研究。
A MORE suitable title for this book than that selected by the authors would have been “A Treatise on Wood Growth and Structure”. The reader will find that out of 554 pages only 154 can be said to be informative on the subject of commercial timbers of the United States: these 154 pages include seventy-five kinds of woods, on which the information is limited and generally highly technical. The uses of the timbers named are drawn only from information within the United States, and a glance at the bibliography displays perhaps a somewhat insufficient research.
