Edible and Medicinal Plants of Canada

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 Samuel Thayer's books.

Excellent field guide.
