From the reviews:
The book is divided into eight chapters with multiple subheadings, each highlighting different aspects of B. maritima. In general, the book is well illustrated with many figures printed in colour. it is a valuable resource for scientists involved in Beta germplasm conservation and taxonomy, as well as breeders interested in sea beet and beet history in general. (Thomas Schmidt, Annals of Botany, Vol. 113 (7), May, 2014)
To the best of my knowledge, this book is the first devoted entirely to sea beet (Beta maritima L.), the wild ancestor of all cultivated beets. The book is recommended because currently there is much interest in wild beets as a source of new genetic variability for pests and diseases resistance. the book will serve as a valued reference for students, researchers, scientists, molecular biologists, and breeders.
