Media reviews


"A very clearly written book, full of important and well organized information."--Plant Science Bulletin
"This is one of the very few technical book [sic] geared to growing essential oil bearing plants for increased oil yield. Each chapter covers a significant family of plants that contain essential oils, which makes for interesting comparisons. This includes a short history of the plant's use and information on its economic development. Research results on cultivation techniques and recommendations for improvement are paired with details on harvesting and distilling."--American Herb Association Quarterly
