ISBN 0 226 42495 2, hardback, £35, ISBN 0 226 42496 0, paperback, £14.25. Plants do fight back As a young graduate student in the late 1970s, I first became aware of the work of Erkki Haukioja in Finland, who in a series of elegant experiments ( Haukioja & Niemelä 1977, 1979) demonstrated that damage to leaves induced a plant response in birch, which had adverse effects on larvae of the autumnal moth Epirrita autumnata that subsequently fed on the trees. This interesting, if not apparently world shattering, work induced a response in the scientific community that earlier work on the wood boring wasp Sirex noctilio ( Coutts & Dolezal 1966) and the sycamore aphid Drepanosiphum platanoidis ( Dixon 1970) had failed to do. This may have been because Haukioja postulated that induced responses had significant effects on the population cycles of herbivores ( Haukioja & Hakala 1975). The newly discovered field proved a fertile ground for vigorous scientific debate, and resulted in what at the time seemed a very fanciful notion, the concept of talking trees ( Rhoades 1983). The field has continued to develop and has become a firmly established feature in mainstream ecology, examples being drawn from agriculture, forestry, and horticulture as well as from unmanipulated habitats. More recently ( Hatcher et al. 1994 ), the influence of induced responses has also been demonstrated in multitrophic interactions. So much for the field – what about the book? Drs Karban and Baldwin are to be congratulated on providing us with a text that is both informative and readable. It is a book that should be readily accessible to all ecologists, from undergraduates to senior Professors. In fact, this is the perfect example for anyone wishing to run a course on scientific book writing. The authors use the first chapter to set the field and introduce us to the concept of plant defences. The historical survey is particularly informative and, apart from the omission of the Coutts and Dixon references mentioned earlier, has done full justice to the literature. The second chapter looks at how plants perceive damage and how the signals received can be passed on to other parts of the same plant or to other individuals of the same species. The work cited in this chapter greatly strengthens the case for the once ridiculed ( Fowler & Lawton 1984) concept of talking trees. The third chapter reviews the mechanisms involved in generating induced responses in great depth, giving an excellent overview of the chemical processes and pathways. This is followed by yet another excellent chapter on the effects of induced resistance against herbivores, which asks the very important question: Does induced resistance affect herbivore populations? I found the evidence compelling, but as I had planned to write a review article supporting this thesis myself (now shelved of course!) I may be biased. The authors, and this is typical of their approach throughout the book, present a balanced and well-argued case for a not proven verdict. The penultimate chapter examines the evolution of induced resistance in plants, covering the accepted and controversial aspects of the debate. The scholarly discussion on the costs of such responses was particularly compelling. The final chapter is exemplary. It first, and this will please my father – a plant pathologist, points out that plant pathologists have been aware of the phenomenon of induced resistance for almost a century! Secondly, it addresses the question of how what seems an ecological curiosity can be used to increase crop production. The prospects appear very promising. The authors have done an excellent job in presenting the controversial subject of induced responses to herbivory to a wide audience, in a well balanced and intelligent manner. I was particularly taken with the way in which the last four chapters end with a discussion of future prospects. Too often, the concluding sections of book chapters are trite and tired statements of the obvious. Karban and Baldwin present perceptive visions of the future that will almost certainly stimulate the research directions of many of us in the field. This is a book that I have already recommended to my graduate students and one that I would dearly like to have written myself. Books such as these can only be stimulating. If you have not already bought it for your own bookshelves, then do so now. It is well worth the money.
