Finally a citrus book with really great tasting recipes. I made one of the appetizers for a family dinner and got compliments from everyone. I would easily reccommend it to anyone who likes to cook.

Great book. Plenty of healthy citrus recipes from everywhere in the world. We've been into citrus cooking for years and this is the best book we've found to date.

Wooden Fish Songs is a fascinating story that weaves together the worlds 19th Century China, New England and the post-Civil War South. McCunn's extensive research makes this true story come alive and her talent makes the three women who tell the story real and believable. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Chinese literature and culture. This book portrays the difficult life not only for the Chinese immigrant in America, but also for the family left behind. I recommend this and any other of McCunn's works.

I received a copy of Wooden Fish Songs as a gift from my father, who is a familial descendent of Fanny, and the New England people with whom Lue Gim Gong lived in America. Many of my father's recollections about his relatives were given to the author as the book was written, and helped to maintain the story's factual basis. It is a moving historical account of the difficulty and pain encountered when east/west cultures came together, when differences in peoples were terribly feared, and when cultural mores and expectations within the family were not to be challenged - even for love.

If you ever interest how a citrus plant develops, and how it is related into the familie of Rutaceae, you might find all here. Also you find informations about water use, photosynthesis nad all other plant related information you right and in one book. No sharp colorphoto is present, but the informations you find writen here, is a compression of the 5 volumes 'Citrus Industy' by the University of Florida. Just a book you need and you should read if you realy have any buissness with citrus trees...

Karen Comerford was my art teacher in junior high school. She was a beautiful and talented teacher then and I can't believe I bought something like this simply because it appealed to my eye. I didn't even need a photo album and then to find out that it is Karen Comerford's creation...well then I am not surprised!

After years of searching info on many citrus concerns issues this book resolves many thoughts in a simple and readable form (plain english)a welcomed help for the citrus and fruit juice professional. A must for citrus professionals

This is the best and most valuable book I have bought for my work as a plant pathologist. Subjects are well-defined and easy to find. Lots of color pictures with good explanations. Text is well written and the information is to the point and clear. Each disease has its own chapter on how to detect using indicator plants. Separate chapters on biochemical detection, growing healthy plants in the greenhouse, grafting methods. Every person working with graft-transmissible diseases of citrus should have this book.

Having lived through the last 50 years of these freezes, and being a student of them, Dr. Attaway has written a reliable, remarkable, and poingant account of these devasating events. I'm sorry that I am the first and only reviewer of this magnificent account of a piece of Florida history.

..becasue this book provides you with compareable pictures of the different and often unusual citrus varieties today grown and sold. It give you a hint about were to plant, how to care and shows you the different varieties, so you easily can select an enjoyable variety for you container or backyard. The magnificent pictures make this book worth to buy, because you can choose your tree right from the fruit and see if taste and usage fit to your demand. Let's grow citrus!

This book has informatiom for the professional as well as the village farmer in Africa , its teachings are simple and clear for all those interested in the subject to follow , the illustrations and instructions are simple even for those with a basic knowledge of subtropical fruit growing. Africa is not covered in the distribution map never the less the fruits are for example the mango tree is synonymous with Africa , it gives food, and shelter from the elements and fuel what more can you want from a tree. Every African school would benefit from a book like this , and i know one that will.

I have read several other books on citrus cultivation, but this book is by far the best i've run across. It has excellent photographs of the hundreds of citrus fruits, both on the tree and of the inside of the fruit itself. It has some great citrus recipes, but it mainly focuses on the cultivation and care of each variety. This book tells the grower what he/she can exactly expect to see, and how to best care for your tree. If there is ANYTHING this book lacks, it is more info on out-of-zone citrus gardening. For example, i live in NC and i have phenomenal success with all my trees in containers (i winter them in a "cheap" plastic greenhouse). That is my only criticism of this book---otherwise, all cultivar info is detailed and well illustrated!!!!

This book has lots of wonderful recipes using Florida citrus and has great citrus tips, but is not only a book using fruit. It has many great grilling recipes. Sunsational Encore is a great cookbook and the sections with the citrus labels are beautiful and informative about the history of the citrus industry. Another great Junior Leauge cookbook!

I use this book all the time...the recipes are easy to follow and use fresh ingredients...fruits, vegetables with seafood, meats and poultry. Emphasis on "florida cuisine" but ingredients can be found anywhere. Lots of great ideas, easy to read format and interesting "twists" like a great cake with the basic ingredient being a devil's food cake mix. I've given this as gifts to many friends who have all enjoyed it...I highly recommend it.

If you want to know how to take care of your tropical fruit you won't learn it here! If you want to see pictures of citrus fruit, that you will see. I have pineapple plants along with banana, mango, orange, key lime, tangerine, and papaya trees. This book was worthless to me. I already know what they look like.

This book provides a very helpful overview of subtropical fruits. I was interested in finding good fruits to plant that are hard to obtain in stores and do well in my climate. By perusing this book multiple times over the course of several months, I was able to begin to get a feel for what would be good candidates. I have since planted several of them, am enjoying good fruit, and still like glancing through this book in a free moment...

I bought this book when I was in middle school and memorized it :-p. Now I am a college junior and I'm working towards interning at a tropical fruit grove later on. I won't say this book started me on that journey, but it's a pretty good guide for learning
