From sacred mushrooms to genetically modified crops, it conveys both the mysterious and the practical with ease and intelligence. Step back into antiquity to explore the fertile groves of northern Europe, holy plants from both the Old and New Testament, the lore of the wise herb women, and the origins of May Day. There are plants of the imagination and those with special significance, ones used for blessings and cures, and others that expand the mind. And, finally, rejoice in today's renewed concern for the environment—a cause of hope for the future of plants.and mankind. 7 1/2 X 9 11/16. all in colorBook Details
