The first edition of Understanding Wood was published in 1980 and has since sold more than 130,000 copies.

New information on composite materials, adhesives, and finishes brings this book into the 21st century, while more than 300 photographs bring important visual information to life. This edition covers the nature of wood and its properties, the basics of wood technology, and the woodworker's raw materials.
