From the reviews: "This is again a slender volume, with only 12 papers, but represents a rapidly expanding area of plant pathology. ... They bring together a summary of work across the whole field of plant pathology ... . They thus enable specialists to see their specialism as part of an integrated whole, and for students and those at the start of their careers they provide an invaluable summary of what is going on, who the key players are and where the knowledge lacunae lie."
