Current and comprehensive textbooks that portray the latest developments in a subject are the key to successful transfer of knowledge in the subject. In the field of agroforestry, we have witnessed a proliferation of publications during the past two decades, consisting of peer-reviewed articles in a number of world’s leading scientific and thematic journals, an “Advances in Agroforestry” book series with an average of a-book-a-year for the past 10 years, and numerous other publications. In spite of this impressive record, there has been no recent publication that could be claimed as a textbook of agroforestry. The authors of this book need to be complimented for taking the bold initiative of correcting this deficiency partly by preparing a textbook of Tropical Agroforestry.
