A Field Guide to Western Medicinal Plants and Herbs

by Steven Foster and Christopher Hobbs

A follow-up to A Field Guide to Medicinal Plants: Eastern and Central North America, which I co-authored with Jim Duke, this new book, co-authored with herbalist Christopher Hobbs, covers medicinal plants of western North America. It includes over 500 species with nearly 600 photographs. The book is the most comprehensive treatment of herbs of the western states (and adjacent Canada) ever published. It also features an entirely new binding, called a Flexicover, which will make it much more durable in the field. Houghton Mifflin Co., 2002, 442 pages. Flexicover: $22.00. Order below at Amazon.com
