Reviews

Reviews of the First Edtion: "Lucid writing, together with obvious enthusiasm for the subject, make this book pleasurable and stimulating to read. There is no doubt that it will indeed be essential reading for the increasing number of people studying mycorrhizals in many parts of the world." - Society of General Microbiology Quarterly
