We are often asked about sources of arboriculture information or sometimes to recommended tree surgery books or for good a tree identification book.

This is especially true of those studying tree surgery courses, or thinking about becoming a tree surgeon. And also by those interested in books relating to the environment, permaculture or sustainability issues. There are some excellent arboriculture books on the market and we list quite a few below that may be of interest to our visitors.

Here is a recommended list of books and literature on trees and tree related subjects as well as a wider book list for environmental / green / sustainability issues in general.

Resurgence Magazine

This deserves a section all to itself - I can not recommend this magazine enough. It contains truly fabulous, intelligent & insightful articles on the environment, sustainability, nature, politics and more. It never fails to deliver each month and leaves one feeling hopeful.


Resurgence continues to publish articles that are on the cutting edge of current thinking, promoting creativity, ecology, spirituality and frugality
Resurgence magazine - sacred architecture, art in the environment, small schools and deep ecologyResurgence Magazine - community supported agriculture, local economics, ecological buildingesurgence Magazine - gives working models for an emerging new paradigm.Resurgence Magazine - Resurgence argues for politics with principlesResurgence Magazine - positive ideas about the theory and practice of good living
 


"Resurgence continues to publish articles that are on the cutting edge of current thinking, promoting creativity, ecology, spirituality and frugality.

While the corporate world advocates "free trade" Resurgence questions trade without responsibility and money without morality. While our governments define the "national interest" and its politicians pursue power at all costs, Resurgence argues for politics with principles. While technology invades our lives in the name of speed and efficiency, Resurgence advocates science with a soul.

But Resurgence not only offers a critique of the old paradigm, it gives working models for an emerging new paradigm. Resurgence is packed full of positive ideas about the theory and practice of good living: permaculture, community supported agriculture, local economics, ecological building, sacred architecture, art in the environment, small schools and deep ecology."
