In this time of edited volumes when the list of individual
contributors may reach double figures, it is appropriate to
question the usefulness of a volume, with such a broad scope, by a
single author. The answer is simple. For years he has believed that
the rather sharp distinction between fundamental and applied
aspects of this discipline, has ill-served the significance of
each; and has diminished the incidence of fruitful synergies. Yet
the need for these was never greater, and this case may be
developed by a single author with experience of each aspect. The
inclusion of a Chapter on Genetic Engineering may raise some
doubts, but it is enabled by the chosen title "Chemoreception," as
distinct from Chemoperception: the latter implies detection of a
chemical, followed by a behavioural response. But the former
broader category subsumes Chemoperception and allows for the
reception of a chemical toxin so potent as to prelude a behavioural
or physiological response, other than death. Accordingly, chemical
toxins are a legitimate inclusion. In which event, their delivery
through a GM plant is as appropriate for study as their application
in a spray.
