Review
"…helpful not only to agricultural researchers but folks working in related fields. The author has taken a very liberal interpretation of 'Agricultural Sciences' but actually it has made for an even more useful reference. …Related fields of biology, botany, chemistry, ecology, horticulture, toxicology, and zoology along with other fields have definitions provided within this book. The coverage makes this book very useful to a variety of users including students, teachers, and professionals in life science fields." - Library News for Zoos and Aquariums, June 2002 "provides a comprehensive coverage of terms connected to agriculture in its widest sense. An eclectic mixture is included and the terms are generally well defined." - Biological Agriculture and Horticulture, 2002 "provides a comprehensive guide to the terminology of agriculture, including every area of agriculture from traditional farming to environmental sciences to the latest developments in biotechnology and genetics. The 674-page volume is more than just a compendium of terms as it presents clear, concise definitions in a traditional dictionary entry format. The book's sturdy binding is something to be appreciated as well since it is sure to be a frequently consulted work in anyone's library." -P.L.
