Reviews

`Review from previous edition Allaby succeeds remarkably well over a wide range of disciplines . . . leaves one a better informed person, and who could ask for more from a dictionary?'
Times Higher Education Supplement
`...a very useful first dictionary for biologists with an interest in plants...'
Alan Cadogan, Journal of Biological Education, Vol. 41(4)
