The style of illustrations will be of value by the stressed undergraduate...this book is based entirely on excellent line drawings which would be easy for an undergraduate to remember and perhaps even reproduce...Overall, this is definitely a book I will enjoy to have around for reference and teaching purposes - New PhytologistThe contents are comprehensive and cover all areas found in first and second year courses. Agriculture and horticulture students would find this book useful. I would recommend this book to my students - Dr Nick Smirnoff, University of ExeterA good book, at a very good price. Well done to the authors! - Dr Nigel Chaffey, University of Bath Spa, UK
