This book covers it all. Lots of full color photos, graphs, and all the really technical good stuff you need to know.

Best 20 bucks I've spent on my garden!) ... Read more

Comprehensive overview of horticultural therapy
This is a valuable and comprehensive introduction to the use of gardening and other related activities to promote health and well-being, among a range of different clients, including children and young people, older people and those experiencing physical disabilities. While the introductory chapters provide a valuable and succinct overview of the theories that underpin this growing profession, some of the later chapters on specific client groups are less satisfying and would benefit from updating at some point in the near future. ...

A MUST HAVE FOR INDOOR GROWERS!
This book has everything you could need to know about indoor growing! This is a must for indoor growers!!

Price
The Cervantessite is offering this book for $14.00. How come sellers
want to sell this book with over $60.00 priceIndoor Marijuana Horticulture - The Indoor Bible (Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible)

Setting the Record Straight
I just wanted to reply to J. Schachter's "The Critic" review of this book, which is spotlighted above.Not only did he omit some crucial info about Jorge's book, but his own statements have been proven false this year.

We now know the US government IS tracking "our every click" on the Internet.He also omitted Jorge's good suggestion that all marijuana growers using the Internet to post about their grows should use a PROXY SERVER.That is how he says to avoid big brother looking over your shoulder, not just getting a hotmail account.

So Jorge was NOT wrong in his statements, but it is indeed this "critic" (who has never reviewed anything else on Amazon.com), who is wrong.

I am an IT professional as well and can say that Jorge's statements regarding the Internet DO BELONG in his book (since so many growers use the Internet to exchange information), and are good tips.It seems the "critic" has an axe to grind since he couldn't be bothered to discuss the main content of the book which is about growing marijuana.

it's an OK guide BUT
okay all the typos and grammatical errors got to me too. this book has a lot of good information BUT I too, found incorrect information.Cervantes also contradicts himself a lot because in his articles in high times grow magazine, he says things that are total opposites from the book. i prefer his articles to this book BUT it did have some information that i found helpful. there has to be better stuff out there though.

The definitive indoor grow guide
In 1983 when I first became interested in the subject this book was the definitive indoor grow guide and it still is today and I like Mr. Cervantes style too instead of writing several books and you have too buy them all to find all the information you need he writes one complete book and updates it every few years with new stuff keep up the good work. ...

Homeschool use
This book is working well for my high school senior who is using it as part of his homeschooling.

High School text
I was hoping to purchase a college level text but found out after buying that this was a very simple High School text. For anyone with a (hard) science degree, "Introductory Horticulture" will read in an unsatisfying way. I strongly recommend "The Nature and Properties of Soils" By Brady and Weil and hope to find a book of this caliber for Horticulture and plant sciences.

Il libro è buono e ben strutturato, con una eccessiva inclinazione, forse, al misticismo e all'esoterismo. E' uno studio ben organizzato, ma non specialistico: l'autore è un dilettante, non un professore o uno specialista.

Very Useful Textbook
I would recommend this to anyone looking to get into Horticulture, Landscape Design or their own backyard with a greater depth of knowledge in the science of plants and their care.

Most referenced textbook
I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Preece as an instructor for the General Horticulture class when I started college.Little did I know that I would be referring to this book when I was preparing for qualification exams for PhD in Botany.This textbook is an invaluable tool for students who want to further their education

Titles are decieving...
This book is by no means basic as the subtitle "an introductory textbook" states. In fact, this is one of the most detailed, and comprehensive books available on the subject. Covering everything from total plant anatomy all the way to pathology, nutrition, propagation, and beyond, it is an invaluable resource for any hort or botany student. Hobbyists will also find this book invaluably enlightening, as it can help them answer common questions such as why leaves on tomato plants are turning yellow.

Great book invaluable to horticultural students
I have recently completed a BSc (HONS) in horticulture and found this book very useful. I used many text during my degree, however this was the one I refered to most. I think that students particularily in the initial stages of a degree or diploma course would find the book most valuable. Many areas of interest are covered e.g. biological control of plant pathogens, irrigation and many other areas that may not be apparent from the books title. There are many good pictures and diagrams and each chapter has useful references. This book will also be of interest to horticultural professionals. ... Read more
