thedeerdude,
The book you mentioned, 'The Fundamentals of General Tree Work' was written by Jerry Beranek. It's a bit dry but packed full of good information. His website is linked in my earlier post above, or the book can be ordered through most arborist supply houses.

Beranek is generally recognized as an expert and I`ve always heard good things from knowledgable people on his book. The Dent book is jam packed with good info and it is written in layman`s terms, I`ve read it and recommend it. I`ll take Rocky`s word for good on the Beranek book.
