From a review of the previous edition:
"... It addresses the problems of the past; ... it talks of new, emerging technologies; ...it is packed in a reader-friendly fashion; and is full of good science, innovative discovery and remarkable breakthroughs. It is a book that should be compulsory reading for the doubters of the value of chemical crop protection... a book of which we should be proud."
