It was a compliment to me to be asked to prepare the fourth edition
of Westcott's Plant Disease Handbook, and the decision to accept
the responsi bility for the fourth edition and now the fifth
edition was not taken lightly. The task has been a formidable one.
I have always had a great respect professionally for Dr. Cynthia
Westcott. That respect has grown considerably with the completion
of the two editions. I now fully realize the tremendous amount of
effort expended by Dr. Westcott in developing the Handbook. A book
such as this is never finished, since one is never sure that
everything has been included that should be. I would quote and
endorse the words of Dr. Westcott in her preface to the first
edition: "It is easy enough to start a book on plant disease. It is
impossible to finish it. " This revision of the Handbook retains
the same general format contained in the previous editions. The
chemicals and pesticides regulations have been updated; a few
taxonomic changes have been made in the bacteria, fungi, and
mistletoes; the changing picture in diseases caused by viruses
and/or viruslike agents has been described. A few new host plants
have been added, and many recently reported diseases as well as
previously known diseases listed now on new hosts have been
included. In addition, photographs have been replaced where
possible, and the color photograph section has been retained.
