`This book will soon become a reference text in courses on environmental biology, applied botany, hydrobiology and limnology. Kluwer Academic Publishers are noted for their many fine publications on stress physiology. This book is an excellent addition on the subject.'
P. Mohanty, Phytomorphology, p. 262

`The book will be a worthwhile buy for those who want the latest information, but who were unable to attend the symposium.'
