Early Uses of California Plants: Volume 10

Authoritative- to be expected from the University of California Press; not all academic,though; the text includes the tastes of these usually wild plants as food giving the reader the motivation to seek out and try some of these very useful, ancient and life-sustaining natural foods as I did with a nature guide who showed us everything growing to this day in southern California as illustrated in this fine field guide. Fully indexed. You can usually remember the generic names; also, latin, scientific names are given. Fine black and white detailed line drawings are included for most of the plants mentioned; and some color photos. Handy pocket size and lightweight with firm binding;, 8" x about 5",;inch & cm. rules on covers.
