Summary: The treatment of dry rot, death watch beetle and other pests of timber has changed radically throughout the twentieth century. Timber decay involves more than a simple relationship between wood and pesticides; it is also a complex series of interactions between wood, decay organisms and the building environment. This book seeks to explain these interactions, and their implications for timber conservation.
