This very timely book describes the operation of data monitoring committees, and provides an authoritative guide to their establishment, purpose and responsibilities.* Provides a practical overview of data monitoring in clinical trials.*

Sommario/riassunto

This new database charts exactly what varieties are grown in which regions around the world. Since the data sets are based on two broad census periods, in 2000 and 2010, readers can also follow major planting trends around the world during the first decade of this new century. This colossal trawl makes it the perfect complement to last year's publication of Wine Grapes by the doughty Robinson, Harding and Vouillamoz.
