These exciting new companion handbooks are the only ones of their
kind devoted solely to the effects of environmental variables on
the physiology of the world's major fruit and nut crops. Their
cosmopolitan scope includes chapters on tropical and temperate zone
species written by scientists from several continents. The
influence of environmental factors, such as irradiance,
temperature, water and salinity on plant physiology and on
vegetative and reproductive growth, is comprehensively discussed
for each crop. In addition to being a thorough and up-to-date set
of textbooks, the organzation of the two volumes makes them an
excellent reference tool. Each chapter focuses on a single crop, or
a group of genetically or horticulturally related crop, and is
appropriately divided into subsections that address individual
environmental factors. Some chapters emphasize whole-plant
physiology and plant growth and development, while other chapters
feature theoretical aspects of plant physiology. Several chapters
provide botanical background discussions to enhance understanding
of the crop's response to its environment.

Although avocado has been cultivated and consumed for more than
9,000 years near its center of origin in Latin America, world
production and trade has increased dramatically over the past few
decades. The avocado is now a widely traded fruit between warmer
and colder countries as a result of the global community becoming
increasingly aware of the versatility and nutritional value of this
crop. For the past decade, the world avocado industry has been
going through a period of rapid technological change and
innovation. The dietary value of "the most nutritious of all fruit"
is also receiving more attention. This fully updated new edition of
the successful 2002 book will provide a comprehensive review of
avocado production, science and technology.
