Product Information

This book is about how plants get diseases, from the origins and evolution of parasites to how the great plant epidemics developed. Conditions favoring disease are inherent in agriculture and diseases became destructive because of human activities. This book also deals with how people have dealt with plant diseases in history, and includes the natural histories of some of the most damaging plant diseases worldwide, with discussions of why each became destructive. It classifies diseases according to the most significant factors in the development of epidemics: every case involves a human factor. Each model disease proceeds from observable facts to more complex concepts.

Reviews
'... the work of a true scholar ... [the] case-study approach is marvelously holistic, detailed and informative.' Andrew Bent, Trends in Plant Science, "For the general horticulturist this book is a serious introduction to this broad discipline, and for the plant pathologist it is a refresher course that extends the science into another dimension. I heartily recommend this book." HortScience, 'Disease ecology is a growing and vibrant field. This book is a valuable contribution with its detailed coverage of the basic pathology of important plant diseases combined with a strong emphasis on their history, geography and ecology, and their socio-economic impacts. Anyone with an interest in disease from any of the above perspectives will find something of value here.' Keith Clay, Trends in Ecology and Evolution, "Instructors of plant pathology would find this book most helpful for obtaining broad-based perspectives on the topics and to present historical lectures or background on many of the classic plant pathogens." Journal of Natural Resources Life Science Education, '... an enlightening book, and deserves to be read for the sheer pleasure of seeing a life-time of understanding digested and set down in clear and arresting prose.' Brian J. Ford, Biologist, 'â€¦ the work of a true scholar â€¦ [the] case-study approach is marvelously holistic, detailed and informative.' Andrew Bent, Trends in Plant Science, "I was thrilled to see that the history of discovery was another theme in the book....This book represents an enormously rich field of inquiry." Plant Science Bulletin, "The approach is interesting and the reading is stimulating. Not only does the book inform about the fundamental principles of phytopathology and the most devastating plant diseases, it is also a very important source of references. I recommend it highly to anyone with interests in phytopathology, ecology, plant biology, agriculture or forestry." Canadian Botanical Association Bulletin, 'â€¦ an enlightening book, and deserves to be read for the sheer pleasure of seeing a life-time of understanding digested and set down in clear and arresting prose.' Brian J. Ford, Biologist, ‘… an enlightening book, and deserves to be read for the sheer pleasure of seeing a life-time of understanding digested and set down in clear and arresting prose.’Brian J. Ford, Biologist, ‘… the work of a true scholar … [the] case-study approach is marvelously holistic, detailed and informative.’Andrew Bent, Trends in Plant Science
