The traditional and well-known title has been retained although the book is now ratherlargerthan‘pocketbook’size.Thecontentshavebeenarrangedintofive sections covering the main activity groups in plant pathology. Several new topicshavebeenaddedincludingchapterscoveringepidemiologyanddisease forecasting, disease resistance, biochemical and molecular techniques, and electronic databases and information technology. Other topics covered in the secondeditionhaveallbeenrevisedorcompletelyrewrittenandtheassociated bibliographies updated. In order to keep the pocket book to size it has been necessarytorestrictaccountsofmostsubjectstosuccinctoverviews,buthope- fully the attached bibliographies will provide sufficient information to assist pathologistswiththeirwork.Inevitablydecisionshavehadtobemadeonhow much to include on particular aspects; the pocketbook is not intended as a generaltextonplantpathologybutasareferenceforinformationandrelevant literature.Assuchthebookwillbeusedmoreinthelaboratorythancarriedin the pocket and the larger size and rearranged format will hopefully enable better access to the contents. Many chapters have been written or revised by authors both from CABI Bioscienceandfromoutside;othershavebeenrevisedorwrittenbytheeditors. We acknowledge particular assistance with the chapter on viruses from Professor Mike Thresh of NRI, University of Greenwich.
