Reviews / Votes
"This amazing book catalogues in clear, direct language the full range of wild edible plants found in California. Organized by ecological region and latest scientific family, it teaches not only a plant's place on the land but its essential botanical attributes. More than that, Christopher's lifetime of dirt time experience makes him expert on the edible and nutritional properties of this wonderful flora, so easily overlooked but at our disposal everywhere. I have followed Christopher on endless plant walks and never failed to learn something new and important. Now at last it's all in one brilliant guide! " -Paul Campbell, author of "Survival Skills of Native California"More details
