Tree Mechanics: explained….

Tree Mechanics Explained is presented in Mattheck’s uniquely personal style. His cartoon character Pauli the Bear introduces simplified mechanics and presents quantitative information on trees, their loads, hazards and failure in lively fashion. Contains the latest results from the Karlsruhe Research Centre. Text is not typeset, but reproduces the author’s own handwritten text – the cartoons are also his.  English translation by Bill Unnard.
