| Annotation from Turfgrass History and Literature: Lawns, Sports, and Golf, by James B Beard, Harriet J. Beard and James C Beard: | "A basic text on turfgrass science covering turfgrass species, cultivars, mowing, auxiliary practices, insects, diseases, and weeds. The discussions are supported by references. Dr. Madison often introduces his personal philosophy. There is a list of references at the back of each chapter. A small glossary is included in the back. This book is essentially the second of a two-volume set, although not identified as such." p. 277 |
| Beard Section Heading: | Bibliography of books/monographs on turfgrass culture |
| Annotation from Golf Course Design, by Geoffrey S. Cornish and Michael J. Hurdzan: |
"This landmark work still exerts an impact on turfgrass science as does its companion volume 'Principles of Turfgrass Culture' published the same year by the same publisher." |
| Quotable quotes | "There are many ways to grow good grass and none is the one right way." p. v "I regard all turf uses as important. Yet it is impossible to write a book such as this without apprearing to give undue emphasis to putting green turf. Turfgrass on greens receives the ultimate in care, the ultimate in abuse, suffers the most competition, is most subject to the ills and problems of all turf, and costs the most to build and maintain." p. 15-16 "The sophisticated manager looks beyond gross symptoms and asks, 'How can I modify my program to reduce or eliminate this problem?" p. 154 |
