"This book will be a valuable tool for researchers and forest managers alike, as well as students. For entomologists, the sections on disease and damage from vertebrates will provide useful information in areas less familiar to them. Although the book is a paperback, the binding is sewn and features a sturdy plasticized cover that should allow the guide to last well in the field."—Larry G. Bezark, Pan-pacific Entomologist
"This book provides an important compilation of information on major pathogens, insects, and other pests of conifers. Because conifers are of tremendous ecological and economic importance in California, this book will fill a unique niche."—Dave M. Rizzo, University of California, Davis
"I applaud the authors for the effort involved in assembling this book. The combination of insect and disease information has important reference and diagnostic value."—Timothy D. Paine, co-editor of Mechanisms and Deployment of Resistance in Trees to Insects
