Editorial Review

Product Description
The trade in spices is one of the oldest and, at one time, one of the most important forms of commerce. While taken for granted today, spices have been coveted, plundered, fought over, and hoarded throughout history. The Age of Exploration was fueled in part by the desire to find direct routes to the spice-growing regions of Asia. Fortunes were made, battles fought, and countries conquered to satisfy the Western spice trade. This book is the first comprehensive bibliography on the economic and historical aspects of the spice trade. Arranged in broad chronological categories, the bibliography lists monographs, periodical articles, and other miscellaneous sources, including pamphlets and maps. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
As a natural product, cotton poses challenges to modern, high-speed textile processing and manufacturing. It shows considerable variation in fibre length, and as fibres are liable to breakage during handling and processing, the amount of short fibre increases during manufacturing stages. Short fibre content and fibre length distribution are therefore of concern to cotton producers and processors. A substantial USDA research programme has been devoted to the subject and has resulted in the development of High Volume Instrumentation, to measure fibre strength, length and other factors. This publication provides a review of this issue. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
The tremendous accumulation of information on plant tissue culture is making it extremely difficult for anyone to keep fully abreast with the literature even in his own specialised area. Therefore, the authors have compiled a bibliography of plant tissue culture as a ready reference for those who are already working in this field, and have also made the task easier for those who have become interested in plant tissue culture. The idea of preparing the bibliography was conceived after completing the book Plant Tissue Culture: Theory and Practice (Elsevier, 1982). Recognition of the various potential industrial applications of plant biotechnology has considerably enhanced the importance of plant tissue culture (PTC), as the latter holds a pivotal position in the realisation of the final goal of crop improvement via cell manipulation and multiplication. It is also becoming increasingly popular in basic studies in plant sciences. Consequently there has been an explosion in the literature on PTC since 1970. A distinctive feature of the present compilation is that it covers all aspects of PTC of higher plants, including Gymnosperms. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Agricultural geography is defined as the study of the geographical and locational attributes, patterns, and processes of crop and animal farming, and related subjects such as farm land, farm-associated human geographers, environmental issues, and theoretical works on the location of agricultural activities. The study of agricultural geography has produced a large amount of literature. This volume records and presents, in an organized manner, as much of this literature as possible. The entries of this compendium are written in a wide array of languages, including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Swedish, Danish, Dutch, Russian and others in order to provide the widest coverage possible. ...

1-0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed
Waited a long time for this book to arrive and when it came I was stunned to find that there was not ONE diagram or picture in this book and the book is huge.The book review never mentions pictures so I guess this is my fault.If you like books with just lists this is the book for you.Very diappointed.I wanted to use the book to identify greens. This book shows alot of research but it is worthless to me.

5-0 out of 5 stars Part of the Permaculture Toolkit
Mr. Facciola has provided all plant explorers with an invaluable resource and research tool.

I recommend this book to all of my Permaculture Design Students.

2-0 out of 5 stars Would be better online
This book would be better implemented in WIKI form online.As a sourcebook on where to find various cultivars, it quickly becomes dated.Also a WIKI would allow addition of much more information on how to use,photos, etc.Info on each plant is light in this book form.

4-0 out of 5 stars Cornucopia II
Very comprehensive reference book and good quick tool to look up plants. Tends to be lacking in some of the newer cultivars and newer nurseries. New edition may be called for. If the information were put into an ebook than would not need the very bulky book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Incredible.
There currently is no better reference for edible fruits & vegetables. There are 1000's of entries, each with cultural (growing) information, significant cultivars, and known sources for the plants. Truly a heroic accomplishment.

Be sure to get the 2nd edition. ... Read more
