Confession: I didn't actually read this book cover to cover. It's not a book you do that with - it's more of a reference book. There is an introduction (excellent insights into the rise of 'miracle drugs' over herbal remedies in the US), then a section on edible plants and a section on plants that are not edible, but have medicinal value. The plant descriptions are understandable and the pictures are excellent. It really deserves more than the 3 stars I gave it, but I'm not sure I'll have the courage to actually put the information to use. I think I'll try the dandelion and sedum in salad, but that's as brave as I am.
I checked this out at the library because I thought it might be fun to see if any of the wildflowers I grow in my yard are edible. A few of them are! Fun!
clear photographs, in depth descriptions and habitat, medicinal values, edibility, and look a like plants, as well as warnings of possible toxicity in medicinals. excellent reference book for wild herbs of western united states.
