Not sure how many people come across the cabi website by chance, but I find it an almost essential resource for both extending my teaching material and to set students off when undertaking independent research on a theme.
So what is cabi? Well in their own words “CABI is a not-for-profit science-based development and information organization. We improve people’s lives by providing information and applying scientific expertise to solve problems in agriculture and the environment. CABI helps address the challenges of food security by helping farmers grow more and lose less. We do this by improving crop yields, safeguarding the environment and improving access to agricultural and environmental scientific knowledge.”. However their web site is more than that: they host a very good ebook shop (admittedly not many free books but lots of hard to find topics), they host numerous research blogs and my favourite stuff their research area with up to date good material about invasive species and biological control.
