Rezensionen / Stimmen
"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)
