"It starts out really unpromisingly, with a pretentious little story about the difference between drinking 'tame water' from the tap and 'wild water' from a stream (thanks, dude, I appreciate a little unexamined privilege--think about where most of your audience grew up, and how much 'wilderness' they had and have access to, and then come up with another introduction)--but it got far more interesting from there. The information he relates is not his, but it's fascinating--descriptions of the incredibly complex communities of plant and animal life and how they grow and thrive. The last part of the book is about herbal medicine--being a well brought up Westerner whenever I hear that expression I think hippy-dippy woo-woo, but that's just plain ignorance on my part, and I need to learn better. Several of the 'transition' books I've been reading mention that natural medicine will be just as important a skill when we can no longer rely on our global networks as growing or finding food, fixing machines and building shelter, and they are absolutely right. I have a little work to do here. No, a lot."
