Great reference book by GrapeOnion (NC)  5 Stars

If you work on with invasive weeds, this book is a great reference. The authors provide a thorough amount of information on the biology of invasive weed invasions, but the information is presented clearly enough so someone who is unfamiliar with weed science will be able to understand everything.
