Greenhouse Operataions and Management 6th Ed.

This is a very informative book on greenhouse structures, systems, and operations. It gives a detailed approach to opperating small and large scale greenhouse ranges. There are no color pictures, but other than that, it's a good buy.

An excellent textbook

Nelson's text is probably the most widely used on college campuses offering greenhouse management. It is up to date, full of technical information, and the chapters are well-ordered.My only complaint is that it is VERY badly formatted and so, difficult to read. Like the Biblical book of Numbers, it will have you sawing logs if read at bedtime. The publisher could learn alot from Boodley's The Commercial Greenhouse, which is much more readable.
