Summary: Magic and Medicine of Plants
Comment: Magic and Medicine of Plants by the editoral staff of the Reader's Digest is a very good book for graphics of the plants. With this volume you should be able to identify the plant you need quite easily.
Healing powers of plants is indisputable as today we understand the underlying physical and chemical principle that account for the medicinal properties of plants. Not only are some of these plants beautiful in flower, but they can help today's scientists learn about their medicinal properties. This book portrays the plant in its natural habitat, has a description of the growth habits, geographical range and the specific environment in which it grows, making it easy to identify the plant in the wild... or in your own garden.
Using this book will impart a world of pleasure and knowledge as one explores this repository of fascinating herbal medicine.

Summary: It was decent
Comment: Well, the pictures certainly make it a little easier to identify stuff in the wild, and the dye references, and growing guides are helpful. I am not a very adept gardener so I need all the help I can get. What dissapointed me most was the fact that each herb is limited to a one page section (except for the exotic and poisonous herbs). I was hoping to actually have information on the medicinal uses and at least guidlines on how to prepare them for use. It amazed me that it gives instructions on the harvesting of opium, but has next to no information on the medicinal preparation of plants.

Summary: Good pictures.
Comment: When I went to school for Herbal Medicine we used this book only as a picture reference. The info is incomplete as well as false in some instances and gives herbs a bad wrap. Probably written by someone affiliated with the FDA. Might as well buy the PDR for Herbal Medicines which is also a decent picture reference.
