Good Book.......2007-02-09
This is an easy read if your in the business... Lots of standards of installation.
Not for the Do-it-Yourself(er).......2003-06-15
This book contains a wealth of valuable information, but it is not very accessible to a non-professional. It reads very much like a text book and might be a good resource if you really need to know the nuances of every type of cable needed in a Residential Structured Cabling System.
I purchased this book in hopes that it would have a little more Do-it-yourself information, but was disappointed. The largest problem in my opinion was the quality of the illustrations. There were plenty of line drawings, but they lacked detail and utility. It went into great detail on how to work with optical fiber but left it entirely to your imagination of how to work with Network, Television and Telephone cable.
The book is riddled with duplicated knowledge, (several sections are even repeated several times in the same chapter) and makes references to other publications that a home builder or electrician may have.
If you are looking for good resource on how to build your own home network/CATV/telephone structured cable system, look elsewhere. If you are familiar with the electrical or telecommunications fields and need a good reference it might suit your needs.
Residential Cabling.......2002-02-23
I attended the Pilot Training course of the same name taught by BICSI. The book very closely follows whatis in the course, and is required reading if you intend to take the BICSI exam. As technical books go, it is very easy to read. I would recomend this bookto anybody looing to get into the Residential Cabling Market.

Many, many errors - proofread by a third grader.......2006-12-24
The study guide itself is a pretty good concept, but there are so many errors (too many to even think about listing), that it is difficult to even follow, or to even be sure you are reading about the correct concept. If you absolutely NEED a study guide for the book, it's the only thing available, otherwise I wouldn't bother simply because it has so many errors.

Although primarily a reference text, Pruning & Training is also a stroll through an arboretum, intertwining beautiful and descriptive photographs with explanatory text. If you've ever wondered how a tree, shrub, or vine was trained or formed, this book will explain every how-to for every plant that stirs your experimental side. If you're saddled with an overgrown orchard, poorly maintained landscaping, or heavy frost damage to trees and shrubs, you can renovate them through pruning. Solid background material is provided, including growing habits (and how to take advantage of them), advice on pruning tools, and basic and specialized pruning techniques.
The reference is organized by ornamental trees, fruiting trees, ornamental shrubs, soft fruits, climbing plants, and roses. Each section discusses specialized methods for the subject plant type and includes a plant-by-plant dictionary. With the American Horticultural Society's stamp of approval, you can be sure that Pruning & Training does not neglect pollarding, coppicing, and pleaching. Step by step photographic sequences and before and after shots provide invaluable visual clues. Drawings showing pruning locations frequently feature a silhouette that illustrates the end result of the pruning method. If you'd like to try your hand at espalier or topiary, many training methods are also addressed at length. This is no guide for the casual pruner, but if you want a reference to answer any question you will ever have about the subject, you've found your book. --Molly McElroy

Customer Reviews:
Informative.......2007-07-08
This book is perfect for someone who wants to understand why pruning techiniques are used and how to get the most out of them. I purchased it so I could predict how my plants would react to what I did to them.
Great help!.......2007-05-12
It provided great help in managing our fruit trees and in helping decide how to take care of future projects!
American Horticultural Society Pruning & Training (American Horticultural Society Practical Guides).......2007-04-03
Excellent reference and fabulous illustrations. Great book to own!!
I use it all the time........2007-03-16
I purchased this book just over a year ago and use it all the time for pruning things like roses, trees, shrubs... pretty much everything.
Lots of great pictures and visual aids help to explain the various pruning techniques.
Got a garden -- get this book.
Much more than academic .......2007-02-21
I have been pruning trees for 30 years (wow), and this is definately the best single source for technical information, and ideas, but it's especially good for its depth & breadth of coverage: a great variety of tree/vine/rose specimens and treatments. The drawings, pictures, sketches are the best I've seen in one presentation. These guys have done it right -- a first class book for the serious gardener!

Reference pays for itself and is a joy!.......2001-04-13
This book may seem an extravagance, especially if you have the wonderful "The Well-Tended Perennial Garden: Planting and Pruning Techniques" (1998), by Tracy DiSabato-Aust, but it is the perfect reference that pays for itself over the years. In contrast to the plant list in the DiSabato-Aust book, this book has full color pix of all plants (perennials & shrubs). The index is useful!
It teaches you to recognize specific plant forms to which you apply the 9 pruning techniques that cover all bases. This book makes it simple to prune any plant, and the other book will tell you that almost all plants benefit from pruning.
As an example, red-twig (or yellow-twig) dogwood should be pruned by completely taking out the oldest 1/3 of branches each year in late winter. This keeps color strong and the bush uncrowded.
Lavender should have 1/3 of last year's new growth pruned off at end of winter, and you have to start this when the plant is young. (I didn't, and you can kill it by cutting back to hard wood.)
It also tells you the difference among all the types of roses (critical, because some bloom on second-year wood) in a 6-pg section copiously illustrated.
I expect that the new version deals with new plants, but have not seen it.
Book Description

Clear, practical guide with helpful text and illustrations.......2001-10-25
I recently moved into a house with a yard and a variety of trees, vines, and Roses. I have read large gardening references before in attempts to prune planter box trees and gardens, but never walked away with the sense that I could actually prune and train my plants successfully. This book began with definitions of terminology, tool selection, and provided clear text and multiple helpful drawings and pictures all geared towards the intelligent adult. It addreses the unique properties of the various fruit trees, rose bushes, vines, and shrubs, and gives advice as to when to hire and how to choose an arborist. It helped me understand the impact of pruning and has made me a more educated 'tree' observer.
I cannot see myself ever needing to buy another pruning book! I would highly recommend this for complete and straight forward pruning guide.
Book Description
Targeting gardeners pressed for time, first-time homeowners confronted by a yard without any idea of what to do with it, and those with certified brown thumbs, Pruning and Training shows gardeners everything they need to know -- from pruning an apple tree to clipping a hedge.
