266 pages, Figs, tabs
The book is very well produced, and each chapter has its own short reading list as well as a longer set of collective references. As an introductory textbook to the field, or as a resource for professionals and scientists to broaden their knowledge of methods and approaches, this book can be strongly recommended. Philip Thornton, Agricultural Systems 72, 2002
