Biography
J. Benton Jones Jr.
"…helps clarify the existing confusion between hydroponics and soilless culture...I found the language style to be flowing yet disciplined enough not to read like a weekly periodical. …chapters have been kept deliberately short and to the point. Each chapter is nicely wrapped up in a short summary at the end and Benton Jones has made use of a plethora of modern references that all students of hydroponics will find helpful. …well worth having on any plant scientists' shelf."
-Dean da Costa, in Science Direct, from the South African Journal of Botany, 2006
