Bose, Jagadis Chunder. Plant response as a means of physiological investigation. *$7. Longmans.
Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.
“A biologically equipped reader with no special knowledge of plant physiology will experience dazzled admiration for the logical, progressive way in which the author builds up, not in words, but actually experiment on experiment, a complete functioning plant from three simple conceptions. A student of plant physiology, who has some acquaintance with the main classical ideas of his subject, will feel at first extreme bewilderment as he peruses this book. It proceeds so smoothly and logically, and yet it does not start from any place in the existing ‘corpus’ of knowledge, and never attaches itself with any firm adherence. This effect of detachment is heightened by the complete absence of precise references to the work of other investigators.” F. F. Blackman.
