With over 1,000 entries, many annotated, Mahogany: A Research Bibliography of Swietenia offers the researcher an entry into the literature of the genus Swietenia, American mahogany. Since the publication of Lamb's "A Selected Annotated Bibliography of Mahogany" in 1959, a vast amount of information has been published in research journals, government documents and independent reports from all over the world. Great advances have been made in our understanding of the genetics, propagation, and diseases of mahogany. Recently results of the first studies on the natural history and reproduction of mahogany in its native settings have been published, and they may have significant implications for sustainable use policies in the Amazon Basin, in particular. The Center for Environmental Study has collected citations from all available sources to put together this bibliography. It is now available on 3.5" diskettes (Macintosh or MS-DOS) as a service to those interested in the question of mahogany as a sustainable resource. The price is $25 US ($15 US for nonprofit organizations), including shipping and handling. To receive your copy: email your postal address and format preference back to Monica Rogers at <cesmich@econet.apc.org> and an invoice and diskette will be sent via US Postal Service.
