Rating:
Summary: Packed with useful information
Review: 101 Medicinal Herbs, by Steven Foster, is chuck-full of useful information never made public before. New and Old World, as well as Asian species are covered in detail. Even the lowly chickweed, used by British folks to soothe cuts and sores, is described in detail. Herbs are alphabetically arranged by common names (scientific names are included), and illustrated with exquisite photographs, making it easy for the novice or professional botanist to key out species.
