Jean-Claude Martegoutte presents a extensively revised reissue of his remarkable *Plants of the Causses and Truffle Fields*. The introduction, which is very detailed and richly illustrated, has been updated. It presents the various habitats that make up the causses, then provides an overview of truffle biology and the harmful or beneficial relationships - some well-known, others still enigmatic - that truffle plants have with other plants! This guide is aimed at all lovers of the causses and truffle fields, iconic habitats of our regions.
