This book is about how plants get diseases, from the origins and evolution of parasites to how plant epidemics develop. The basic premise of the book is that the conditions favouring disease are inherent in agriculture and that diseases become destructive because of human activities.

Críticas:

'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

'... 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
