Description of Introduction to Fungi 3rd Edition (PDF)

Introduction to Fungi 3rd Edition written by John Webster & Roland Weber is a great book for Mycology studies available in (PDF) download. This new edition of the universally acclaimed and widely used textbook on fungal biology has been completely rewritten, drawing directly on the authors’ research and teaching experience. The text takes account of the rapid and exciting progress that has been made in the taxonomy, cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, pathology and ecology of the fungi. Features of taxonomic significance are integrated with natural functions, including their relevance to human affairs. Special emphasis is placed on the biology and control of human and plant pathogens, providing a vital link between fundamental and applied mycology.

Introduction to Fungi 3rd Edition is richly illustrated throughout with specially prepared drawings and photographs, based on living material. Illustrated life cycles are provided, and technical terms are clearly explained. Extensive reference is made to recent literature and developments, and the emphasis throughout is on whole-organism biology from an integrated, multi-disciplinary perspective.
