Not A "Feild" Giude, But Excelent Information  2009-01-02
This book is not something that you can throw in your bag, take it to the woods, and identify plants with. It has very few pictures, and the few pictures it contains, are just colorless sketches. That being said, this book contains wonderful information about many types of plants. Tom brown even says that this book is meant to be used in combination with other field guides. He also recommends several wonderful guides in the book. Once you can successfully identify a plant, then you can use this book's vast amounts of useful information to learn what, food and medicinal values that the plant has. In addition to wonderful information, there are many wonderful stories about Tom's personal experience with each plant. I highly recommend this book to any person who is looking to a expand their information about plants, or needs a companion to another field guide.
To be used with a field guide 2008-12-22
This is a very useful book to be used with an actual field guide with pictures. I don't regret buying it as he goes into great detail and helps you remember the plants and their uses much better than a field guide alone. A good book for all foragers.
youll never starve in the woods after reading this book 2008-05-26
This is a book of possibilities. Tom covers about Fifty plants... Deeply.
He gives their personalities and the stories of how they came into his life and Grandfather's instructions on use. By no means encyclopedic, He covers the few plants on a practical and spiritual level. A very unique book, very inspiring.
Not a field guide but a personality guide 2007-04-20
In this book Tom isn't really trying to make a field guide to identify edible/medicinal plants. He is trying to get you to enjoy those plants, not just use them. Each plant that he talks about has a story that goes along with it. Whether it is the first time he took a sip of catnip tea or an adventure down the river on a raft made from sassafras trees that had been cut down. I have found this book extremely helpful in enjoying and getting to know the types of plants described. Which i find in turn helps me a lot with identifying them from look a likes and really appreciating what i do find to eat.
Not a field guide but great stories 2007-01-24
I love Tom Brown, and his stories about plants are an important part of how I practice herbal medicine. But this book would have been much much better if it had illustrations or at least drawings. As a result, I leave the book at home and read it for enjoyment, cross-referencing it with a field guide if need be.
