    The format of the book whilst informal, is both clear and well set out and very useful as a carry copy for those working in Utiliy Arboriculture. The clever and natural style of Dr Shigo does not hide the mans obvious respect for the tree and at the same time focuses on the workers need for gaining safety clearance of electricity conductors. Many useful tips are given and in such a way as to be easily remembered. I carry a copy with me in my safety manual at work and often refer to it when unsure about pruning or if i simply have a spare few moments with a coffee. For just a few pound its worth every employee of an energy company being issued one. Richard Davenport, Scottish and Southern Energy, UK.
