Review
"This thorough survey,...with the masterful touch... provides a current overview of a plant that revolutionized the world's cuisine within a few years of its discovery by Columbus in 1492. The authors summarize very nearly everything one needs to know about this fascinating genus, and the book's extensive references point the reader to state-of-the-art information on all aspects of Capsicums." -- Current Books on Gardening and Botany, June 2000

Book Description
Although thought of as a minor crop, peppers are a major world commodity due to their great versatility. They are used not only as vegetables in their own right but also as flavourings in food products, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Aimed at advanced students and growers, this second edition expands upon topics covered in the first, such as the plant's history, genetics, production, diseases and pests, and brings the text up to date with current research and understanding of this genus. New material includes an expansion of marker-assisted breeding to cover the different types of markers available, new directions, and trends in the industry, the loss of germplasm and access to it, and the long term preservation of Capsicum resources worldwide.

Good book, Mar 26 2008
By S. Greenan "Green" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Peppers: Vegetable and Spice Capsicums (Paperback)
I developed an obsession with growing peppers over the last year and I have found this book to be very informative on this subject. This book is written for scientists but I believe anyone should be able to follow it pretty closely.

This review is from: Peppers: Vegetable and Spice Capsicums (Paperback)
Dr. Bosland is the expert and this book is very helpful. Not just a bunch of research but practical information on peppers...in depth. Good illustrations and photos. It will help make any pepper grower better. (Explains the difference between chili and chile!)
