Photos and drawings to help in identifying Canadian plants that have been used for food or medicine. Historical background on how they have been traditionally used, with a minimum of sharing of actual hands-on experience. The back cover states that "(t)his book is not intended as a 'how-to' guide for eating wild plants", so consider it as a jumping-off point for further research and exploration. If a how-to guide for eating wild plants is what you desire, I strongly recommend any or all of show more Samuel Thayer's books. show less

Excellent field guide.
