For the first time in over 30 years, the literature on this
controversial tropical wood has been collected in one place.
With over 1,000 entries, many annotated, Mahogany: A Research
Bibliography of Swietenia offers the researcher an entry into the
literature of the genus Swietenia, American mahogany.
Since the publication of Lamb's "A Selected Annotated Bibliography
of Mahogany" in 1959, a vast amount of information has been
published in research journals, government documents and
independent reports from all over the world. Great advances have
been made in our understanding of the genetics, propagation, and
diseases of mahogany. Recently results of the first studies on the
natural history and reproduction of mahogany in its native settings
have been published, and they may have significant implications for
sustainable use policies in the Amazon Basin, in particular.
The Center for Environmental Study has collected citations from all
available sources to put together this bibliography. It is now
available on 3.5" diskettes (Mac or MS-DOS) as a service to those
interested in the question of mahogany as a sustainable resource.
The price is $25 US ($15 US for nonprofit organizations), including
shipping and handling.
To receive your copy: email your postal address and format
preference back to Monica Rogers at <cesdodge@igc.apc.org> and an
invoice and diskette will be sent via US Postal Service.
