Critics Review

‘It will stimulate both aspiring and established biologists.‘David L. Hawksworth, Nature, Vol. 371. October 1994’Angela Douglas has taken a much needed approach to the subject by considering the important, intriguing and relevant aspects of symbiosis as separate subjects … a well written and informative book. It is clearly presented with informative figures and some high quality electron and light micrographs. As a teacher of undergraduates in the field of symbiosis, I will include this book as essential course reading. In addition, Angela Douglas has achieved heraim of providing an integrated text on symbiosis which will also be of interest to postgraduate students and other researchers of this subject.‘I.R. Sanders, New Phytol, Volume 127, 1994’This book is most timely. It will stimulate both aspiring and established biologists.‘David L. Hawksworth, Nature, Vol. 371, October 1994It is refreshing … a thought-provoking book which should appeal to a wide audience … well referenced … well illustrated, with clear diagrams and fascinating scanning electron micrographs. This book is strongly recommended for anyone needing an overview of the subject. Patricia E.J. Wiltshire, Biologist (1995) 42 (2)`The book covers a wide range of symbioses … It looks at many different aspects … I found it readable and … accurate. The breadth helped to make it interesting … It must be the sign of a good book that it leaves the reader intrigued and wanting to find out more.‘Christopher Howe, University of Cambridge, TREE vol. 9, no. 12, December 1994
