Crop Evolution, Adaptation and Yield
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... an important contribution to our understanding of both developed and third world agricultural systems and to logical assessment of the future direction required for development planning and research in this field ... the book is relaxed reading ... accompanying graphs and diagrams greatly enhance the text and some are quite fascinating!' P. Tuley, Tropical Agriculture Association UK Newsletter
'Professor Evans has presented in this extraordinaty book an excellent synthesis of the subject ... The availability of a paperback edition within three years of its first publication, should ensure its use by ecologists, plant physiologists, and agricultural scientists in all developing countries.' J. P. S. Chauhan, International Journal of Ecology and Environmental Sciences
'... impressive volume.' Jim Dunwell, Chemistry and Industry
Review
"...the strength of this work is that it takes an integrated approach. The concept of yield is tied to domestication, adaptation, and improvement. Elements of genetic diversity, plant breeding, physiology, and agronomy help to expand the material....Highly recommended for agricultural collections." R.P. Poincelot, Choice
"...an amazing book....The author truly breaks new ground and has created a whole new way to look at crop plant evolution and improvement....both the Cambridge University Press and the author should be congratulated for a brave step forward and beyond the maddening crowd's `same and safe' writing." Garrison Wilkes, Plant Science Bulletin
