Reviews
"This is first and foremost a reference for taxonomists and is a most handy and useful book for horticulturists wishing a comprehensive single volume for taxonomic inquiry. The book contains an incredible amount of information and is a credit to the perseverance and work of Dr. Mabberly."-Allan M. Armitage, HortScience, '… a modern classic … an up-to-date accurate and user-friendly dictionary of great value to both botanists and horticulturalists … amazingly good value for money.' Dick Seamons, Science and Technology, 'The Plant-book is now widely established as a classic botanical work and an essential reference for any person, professional or amateur.' P. B. Heenan, New Zealand Journal of Botany, ' … I confess to being a major fan of this book, now updated in the second edition with 2500 entries. In fact I can't imagine being able to function efficiently without it!' Quandong, '… a fact book for which I shall almost eternally be grateful. Botanists and serious gardeners everywhere should go down on their knees in gratitude for Cambridge University Press and for the travail of Dr D. J. Mabberley who has laboured to produce The Plant Book. I can only join fellow botanists and horticulturalist in saying 'Thank You'.' Stefan Buczacki, The Guardian, '... a modern classic ... an up-to-date accurate and user-friendly dictionary of great value to both botanists and horticulturalists ... amazingly good value for money.' Dick Seamons, Science and Technology, 'The author has clearly kept abreast of the most recent developments, not only in plant classification, discovery, and popular usage, but even with aspects of genetic engineering. This new edition gives the reader an additional 2500 entries and 150 more pages of very condensed but well-presented plant information - an invaluable resource.' Kew Bulletin, "D.J.
