Reviews

`Review from previous edition A nearly complete compendium of Old World crop plants that makes the book very informative yet easy reading ... a first-rate source of knowledge on Old World crops."'

`An authoritative synthesis of one of the most important fields of contemporary botany ... This book deserves a wide readership but will be especially valuable to those studying Mediterranean and S.W. Asian floras.'
