The Man And The Wood:

This book is a great guide to all things wood and fire. The author Lars Mytting is one of the best-selling Scandinavian Authors. The book covers all kinds of topics concerning fire think of; the forest, the woodpile, drying, the woodstove and fire. It also includes things like fire values per tree species and even what a woodpile tells about the character of the stacker. The book also covers when to cut down a tree to get the best firewood and how to keep a campfire going endlessly. All this and more in one book!

A review by the NRC Handelsblad about this book:

"A brilliant philosophical account of how men truly become men using a hatchet as a tool. Just as polar heroes appeal to their masculinity in the mythical world of white hell, lumbering men do so in contact with a sharpened axe and a whirring chainsaw."
