"The book can be recommended as a comprehensive and valuable source of information" (Journal of Plant Physiology, Vol 158/7, 2001)"This is a useful complement to the Bacillus thuringiensis literature that will find application in both teaching and research." (Microbiology Today, February 2002)"I recognise and salute the Herculean effort that was involved in producing a review of this scope and magnitude" (Biocontrol Science & Technology, No. 12 2002)
