Rezensionen
"Prof. Liese has bundled in this book much of his knowledge from 60 years of research on bamboo, from research on the anatomical structure of bamboo to better understand how to use bamboo and to develop treatments. ... Bamboo - the plant and its uses is such a landmark book, and at the same time Prof. Liese's legacy, and should be recommend to everyone involved in bamboo research." (Johan Gielis, Bamboo, Vol. 36 (4), August, 2015)
