NOV.CORTA

En el otoño de 1830, el inglés Richard Ford llegó a España con su familia en busca de un clima más favorable para su mujer. Asentado en Sevilla, a partir de 1831 emprenderá una serie de viajes por todo el país, interesándose por sus costumbres, su cultura y paladeando la ruda gastronomía que imperaba en el siglo xix. Pocos viajeros extranjeros han descrito la realidad española con tanta precisión, agudeza y conocimiento. Sus libros Manual para viajeros por España y lectores en casa (1841) y Cosas de España (1846), en donde se detiene en las comidas y vinos de su país de acogida, son auténticas delicias para los paladares más exigentes de la literatura gastronómica.

C. Boyle y el propio Richard Ford.

Handbook of Plant Virus Diseases presents basic information about viral-caused and viral-like diseases in many cultivated crops. It provides authoritative descriptive symptomatic signatures of virus diseases to aid in the diagnosis and possible control of viruses. It organizes cultivated plants into groups according to their final destinations and uses after harvest - a useful grouping system that indicates that some diseases, their resultant epidemiology, and control measures are characteristic within different groups. It summarizes current knowledge about various virus-induced diseases in many economically important cultivated crops and addresses the need for an improved acronym system by presenting a new system that provides better logic and greater consistency in referring to viruses.
