"Medicinal plants and herbs: Eastern/Central (2nd edition)"
2009-09-22

This book, one of the Peterson Field Guide series, should please naturalists, hikers through woods,meadows and thicket--and of course amateur and professional herbalists. The second edition fosters a new awareness of the need for ecological sensitivity and determination to preserve endangered species. Color photos are abundant. In addition to the indexes, there's a life list, similar to what you find in bird guides. I bought this as a companion to a herbal medicine handbook. It's a good companion for a walk, too, in woods or along roadsides.
"Good quality research and scholarship"

The contents are rich and the offerings (for the format and type of field handbook that it is) very complete. Really love this little gem. Love the way each plant has its common name and latin name, with the 'family' name, a brief description of the plant, appearance, general location found (i.e., pond edges), and warnings. There are also small icons/symbols next to the text to indicate those plants that might need caution in handling or be harmful in someway, (i.e., leaves may burn skin). Just wish the book also came in a larger format with larger print to leave on the coffee table or in one's library. I realize that the whole idea is to be able to carry it in a knapsack while one is on nature walks and identifying specimens. So it's perfect really. Some of the photos could be improved upon, maybe for the larger edition if it's ever published in the future. There are some plant specimens missing and medical vocab words listed in the glossary in the back are lacking a few here and there, but nothing that can't be looked up in a dictionary...Overall it's really a great reference book, one that you'll return to again and again.
"Very informative!!!"

My husband and I are making a conscious effort to live a more natural life, including natural remedies for illnesses. This book is wonderful. The illustrations are great, making it easy to identify the plants and the information provided is very thorough.

This is a great field guide when looking for medicinal plants. The color photos are exactly what I was looking for.
"Wonderful Field Guide for the Beginner"

A few years ago I purchased a piece of property that was a thriving farm, several hundred years ago.(according to the local historian) The property hasn't been occupied for at least 60 years. In working around the yard I noticed there were "patches" of plants that seemed to have been purposely placed there. Thanks to The Field Guide I was able to determine exactly what they are and what they are used for.
Thank you for helping a beginner, such as myself, begin to recognize medicinal plants growing on my farm. Lavonne
