Abstract
THIS small book, according to its dust-cover, purports "to provide as concisely as possible essential modern technical and scientific information for those engaged in training and advising agricultural students of all kinds, and especially those at agricultural and horticultural institutes", in which activities author and editor have considerable experience. Unfortunately this reviewer holds the opinion, that clarity is preferable to conciseness and repetition, and that punctuation and careful proof correction are essential in even the most elementary scientific texts. Moreover, he also doubts whether acquisition of a patter reflects a thorough appreciation of principles. For these reasons he finds this compilation disappointing. Even if the purpose were to provide only a handy reference, little is gained by adding an eight-page glossary which mainly repeats or paraphrases explanations in the seventy-page text, or by separating "Index, Animal Nutrition" from " Index, Feeding Stuffs".
