100 years of Tropical Forest Research--the Story of the Forest Research Institute Malaysia, has just been published (July 2010) by the Forest Research Institute Malaysia. It is sold at Institute's bookshop at Kepong. A 'must read' for those interested in the theory and practice of tropical forestry!
