Trade ReviewIAWA [...] has built a reputation for well-produced supplements to its IAWA Journal and to trade editions of themed issues of the journal. The present volume is no exception. [...] This collection of papers clearly demonstrates that the study of functional and ecological wood anatomy is thriving, and that new techniques are constantly being sought. Students of plant evolution, ecosystem biology, climate change, forestry and wood science will all find plenty to interest them in this nicely presented volume.
