An array of abundant wild foods is available to hikers, campers, foragers, or anyone interested in living closer to the earth. Written by a leading expert on wild foods and a well-known teacher of survival skills, Guide to Wild Foods and Useful Plants is more than a listing of plant types—it teaches how to recognize edible plants and where to find them, their medicinal and nutritional properties, and their growing cycles. This new edition features more than 70 plants found all around the United States along with more than 100 full color photos plus handy leaf, fruit, and seed keys to help readers identify the plants. It also includes fascinating folklore about plants, personal anecdotes about trips and meals, and simple and tasty recipes.

      Nyerges, author of the first edition, intended to lead readers back to nature with this part field guide, part reference manual. The book discusses how to make medicine and food with natural ingredients, and tells readers about the numerous poisonous plants, which are denoted by red skull and crossbones. Each entry includes photographs of the plant, and information on prominent characteristics, beneficial properties, detrimental properties, where it is found, its growing cycle, and on lore and signature. There is a pictorial key to leaf shapes, recipes using some of the plants, and procedures for plants as medicine. Well written and easily understood, this title will make a great addition where outdoor activities are popular. VERDICT Recommended for survivalists, those who spend much time outdoors, those in the invasive plant arena, and homeowners seeking to identify vegetation on their property.--Christine Sharbrough, Chelmsford P.L., MA
