Resumen
This is a second coming in more ways than one. The recently published Cassava Handbook gave a thorough overview of forty years of cassava research with particular reference to work undertaken in Southeast Asia. Now, the just published Cassava in the Third Millennium – another landmark title about this vital root crop – summarizes the accumulated knowledge and experience gained by cassava scientists over the same period across the cassava growing world. It focuses on applied results that will benefit growers, processors and consumers.Cassava in the Third Millennium is a revised version of the 2002 Spanish-only title, La Yuca en el Tercer Milenio. In the year following publication, all 8,000 printed copies sold out, and the book has become affectionately known amongst many scientists as the Cassava Bible.
