Book Reviews of A Field Guide to Medicinal Plants and Herbs: Of Eastern and Central North America (Peterson Field Guide Series)
Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is an excellent reference for north eastern medicinal plants. Being a botanist, I was looking for something that clearly explains the medicinal purposes of plants. Useful in identifying specific plants, it gives detailed descriptions of almost all the parts of the plants so identification is made easier during each season. I highly recommend this book for both amateur and professional libraries alike.
