Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:
“This book by M. H. Ali follows his first volume … and is also aimed at serving as a textbook for undergraduate students. … each chapter is extensively subdivided into numbered paragraphs and subsections, the contents of which vary from a single sentence to a number of text pages. … will probably find a place in departmental libraries … .” (Henry Gunston, Experimental Agriculture, Vol. 48 (1), 2012)
