Adequate for discussion in graduate or undergraduate classes May 11, 2005

I liked this book in general. Nevertheless the authors are as more interested to promote agroforestry systems as some times; it is similar to they are selling a product. In the first chapters, writers promote several advantages for adopt an agroforestry system however some of their arguments are in need to be better proved and justified. The general idea expressed in this book is "to adopt agroforestry practices is better than not to do". However depending how these practice is adopted, it could bring several disadvantages for environment and farmers. I think that, this reality needs to be better worked in this book.
There are others concepts whose need to be better defined on this book, also. And agroforestry concept is is one of them. Authors have considered other several practices in the same mood of agroforestry practices and these must be cause of confusion in the lectors.
This book is adequate for discussion at undergraduate and graduate environmental seminars.
