Book Reviews

By Laurence Gale

Pitchcare is pleased to announce another new feature for the site. We will be reviewing a series of books and publications, bringing to your attention valuable resource information. I know only too well the value of obtaining knowledge and information from books and publications particularly when studying for courses and academic qualifications.

The reviews will look at books, journals, research papers and any other publications that are relevant to our industry. Pitchcare will source old and new publications. Many of our members may not be aware of what books or resources are currently available.

We will evaluate the publication, publicise its content and inform members on how they can obtain a copy.

If there are any members or companies who have published or written a book or publication on grass/sports turf and would like Pitchcare to review it, please contact me.

Our first review is quite appropriate considering Pitchcare's own endorsement of modern communication technology - a book in CD-rom format - The Lawn e-Book by Philip Sharples. To read the review, click here.

The book is also available for purchase from the Pitchcare shop, priced at £8.99 plus 60p post and packaging. To order click here.
