To date, there has been little research into the uptake of waterborne preservatives by tropical timbers. Yet, tropical timbers have to perform and survive in environments where there exists the greatest risk of attack by wooddestroying fungi, termites, and other enemies of timber. The authors have devised a simple but ingenious method of precisely reproducing, in the laboratory, the vacuum and pressure processes used by fullscale commercial pressuretreating plants. The book is a record of how the processes were applied to hundreds of specimens, and the interesting and applicationrelevant results achieved. It is a tribute to the real possibility of "serious worldclass research, accomplished on a shoestring budget". It opens the way for economical and accurate prediction of the preservativeuptake behavior of any asyetuntested timber species intended for conversion into merchantable timber. The approaches should be of particular interest to persons investigating the possibilities for increasing the durability of any tropical timber for which biovulnerability is the significant impediment to widescale utilization.
