Leaf Protein Concentrates, by Lehel Telek and Horace D. Graham (Avi Publishing Co., Westport, Conn. 06881, USA; Ellis Horwood Ltd., Chichester, West Sussex PO19 1 EB, UK; US$85 in the United States, US$93.50 elsewhere), presents the first complete overview of all research being done world-wide on the utilization of the world's most renewable resource, grappling with the multiple problems associated with attempts to use leaf proteins for animal feed and for human consumption.

Many international contributors present a critical review of the findings, opinions, and projections of research groups around the world, discussing leaf protein concentrates in four major sections: the various plant sources, chemistry and nutrition, factors and preparation techniques, and ten chapters describing world-wide research, in tropical as well as temperate countries.
