About meI am a herbalist, and I write and teach on this subject too. I have a keen interest in the history and anthropology of medicine, in ethnobotany and in general in epistemology. I spend too much time on textbooks and not enough reading fiction and poetry. I talk (but very sparcely) about plants and humans in my blog silphion, http://www.marcovalussi.it

About my libraryDone with my technical library (almost) and english fiction, part of my comic books, and half of my books in Italian.

eheheh :) "I love shopping etc" è il genere di libro che si può confessare di leggere ed aggiungere a Library Thing solo "con occhio sociologico", ma che in realtà hanno letto proprio tutte :D
(Leggerini e tutti uguali. La Kinsella è simpatica.)
Hola Silphion! :)

Bello trovarti anche qui
(non ci passavo da un pezzo...)
Ciao! Bella foto...
io ancora non mi oriento qui in mezzo, ma piano piano....
Ciao, Marco, grazie per l'interesse! Sa' che e' una coincidenza interessante, la prima volta che ho visto una erboristeria vera era a Verona, tanti anni fa'... Ci ho comprato la mia prima teiera cinese (ormai da lungo spezzata) ed i primi te' a foglie... Non so molto di piante, l'erbalismo pero' m'affascina, con quel alone di magia e scienza--nonche di poesia...

Saluti, Lola
Non c'è di che :-)
Sorry to not get back to you sooner. If you haven't yet gotten PLANT RESINS, I highly recommend it. The photographs, chemical information and botany are top-notch!
Just poking around the libraries of "plants" tabs. Your site infoerbe very informative and interesting. Oddly our books in common have nothing to do with plants!

Botanica - Sintra, Portugal

You can roll your tongue. Did you know that what they taught us at school about this "dominant" gene was an over simplification?
