Grains are the staff of life. Mindful of this, it is impossible to contemplate a world devoid of grain. The efficient production and processing of grain are critical activities that are sustained by science. Indeed, it has been said that efficient technology is essentially the science that works. Grain science is the driving force behind the efficient use of grain. The beginnings of grain science are lost in antiquity. However, the research literature and the practices used for processing all the grains of the world are wide-ranging, disparate, and complex. The transfer of scientific knowledge that relates to food raw materials is essential and important for the improvement of world health. In order to collate and present current knowledge and the future potential of grain science to the world, a group of distinguished experts were assembled to produce this Encyclopedia of Grain Science. This remarkable and unique work of science and scholarship comes in three volumes and covers all aspects of grain science. It is always important that scientific information is presented in a logical and reader-friendly manner. The Encyclopedia of Grain Science is beautifully produced and easy to read. Related chapters are cross-referenced and the authors have presented the science and associated technology of their chapters in a manner that is accurate, informative, and clear.
