About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Allelopathy, the study of the chemical interactions of plants, often receives little attention in botanical curricula. Willis (Univ. of Melbourne, Australia) presents a thorough, readable history on this subject, which has enjoyed a recent resurgence in research. … this well-written book presents a lucid history of the development of an important scientific concept. It is a classic example of how significant ideas are a collaboration of scientists past and present. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professionals in botany or agriculture." (M. S. Zavada, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (10), June, 2008)
