There is a new book co-edited by Sergey Shabala and they have set up a discount for ASPS members on all CABI books. The code to use is CCAB20, which is valid for 20% off individual orders through the CABI Bookshop. Below is a jacket for Halophytes and Climate Change – all of CABI’s work and books look great !
