In the garden there are numerous interactions between plants, the soil and with other organisms in which chemistry plays a central mediating role. The aim of this book is to describe some aspects of the chemistry and chemical ecology which are found in the garden. The discussion concerns several of the chemically and ecologically interesting compounds that are produced by common ornamental garden plants and vegetables and by the predators that attack them.

In the garden there are numerous interactions between plants, the soil and with other organisms in which chemistry plays a central mediating role. The aim of this book is to describe some aspects of the chemistry and chemical ecology which are found in the garden. The discussion concerns several of the chemically and ecologically interesting compounds that are produced by common ornamental garden plants and vegetables and by the predators that attack them. Well written and clearly explained, this book will make fascinating reading for the chemist with an interest in gardening as well as the gardener with a general interest in the scientific processes involved in the garden.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Professor J R Hanson FRSC is Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at the University of Sussex. Early work on gibberellic acid at ICI has lead to a long and successful career in natural product and organic chemistry, documented by numerous research papers and books. In 2008 Professor Hanson received a Service Award from the RSC journal Natural Product Reports for his dedicated contribution to the journal, as author and editorial board member. Professor Hanson continues to teach chemistry and biochemistry and is a keen gardener.
