“The comments on ecological status and indications about rarity are, as far as I know, unique to his book. No other proponents of herbalism seem to be aware of this aspect of humans and their environments….this is the excellent product that we have come to expect from Moore. This delightful and informative book should be on the bookshelves of anyone interested in plants and people. Thanks for sharing with us Michael!“
