Customer Reviews

Wrong book received

Received wrong book. Have been waiting for this book for a while now. Finally one available so I purchased. Received completely different book. Sad times.

A Tribute To The Late, Great Michael Moore

This is a beautiful book about the medicinal plants of the mountains of the southwestern United States. It is a fitting trubute to a beautiful human being, who is sorely missed in the herbal community and in the family of man.

Medicinal Plants of the Mountain West

An exceptional resource, even for those who are novices in botanical medicinal uses. A must have reference.

So easy to understand!!!

Michael Moore makes it easy for the average reader to understand his works. His descriptions of plants and there uses are wonderful and to the point without being tedious to read. I'm a fan!

Informative and useful

Michael Moore is a delight to read. He offers much information on his website and in his books. Humor is injected freely into his text, but his viewpoint on many herbs is that of someone who really does use them and knows what he's talking about. It's clear that he's confident in his approach, knowledgable and, best of all, willing to share. He tells four methods of collecting, followed by an intense listing of herbs and their actions. Each herb lists a great general reference guide - one of the more honest ones out there, making it a true favorite. On some of the herbs I would have liked the information to be a bit longer, but overall its an excellent job and a guide I'll keep returning to.
