Most Excellent Field Guide on Western Medicinals

I love this book! I'm a Clinical Herbalism student and this book is excellent for my herbal education here in western Oregon. I took it on trips to Detroit and Suttle Lakes last summer and was able to crete my own photo journals thanks to this book and my digital camera. Pipsissewa is even more beautiful in real life!

Botany contribution.

Peterson's Guide to Western Medicinal Plants and Herbs is a contribution to botany and field identification. This guide includes medicinal species, potentially dangerous ones, and plants with true healing powers. There is a description of range, habitat, medicinal uses, and a toxicity warning beside the species listing. Hundreds of species are covered, making a classic guide, one that deserves to revolutionize the botanical field guide section.
