“…recommended to anyone interested in the history of science and a scientific discipline, in particular in the development of plant virology over the last 100 years.” -- Journal of Phytopathology

“I have the strong impression that this book will prove both fascinating and inspirational for young scientists. Any virologist reading the articles will find different things to fascinate them. I strongly recommend this affordable volume.”-- The Quarterly Review of Biology

Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of virology, Tobacco Mosaic Virus: One Hundred Years of Contributions to Virology is an anthology of this past century's classic papers written about tobacco mosaic virus and its impact in the field of virology and related studies. A historical perspective shows an appreciation for this important virus and how these classic experiments have led to our current understanding of all types of viruses today.
