Handbook of Edible Weeds by James A. Duke Pdf

"If you can't beat it, eat it." Words of wisdom from the author of this portable guide that emphasizes finding practical uses for weeds rather than waging pesticidal war on them. CRC Handbook of Edible Weeds contains detailed descriptions and illustrations of 100 edible weeds, representing 100 genera of higher plant species. Some of the species are strictly American, but many are cosmopolitan weeds. Each account includes common names recognized by the Weed Science Society of America, standard Latin scientific names, uses, and distribution (geographic and ecological). Cautionary notes are included regarding the potential allergenic or other harmful properties of many of the weeds. CRC Handbook of Edible Weeds is an excellent volume for botanists, plant scientists, horticulturalists, herbalists, and others interested in the edibility and practical uses of weeds.

The Earthwise Herbal, Volume I by Matthew Wood Pdf

Gentle Annie by MacKinlay Kantor Pdf

MACKINLAY KANTOR Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Andersonville A FRONTIER NOVEL BY MACKINLAY KANTOR Two people rode into Pahoka City on the S. C. & W. passenger train that Sep­tember day. One of them was Rich Wil­liams, with grimy stubble on his cheeks; the brakeman shoved him off the blind baggage, and Rich strolled up the empty street to Kite's Cafe and Cookson's Bar. He looked like an ordinary bum, but he carried a gun that people couldn't see; and he had a lot of money and papers strapped inside his shirt. The other passenger was a girl with high-piled hair and an Irish mouth. She descended timidly from the day coach; men looked at her ankles. Annie Lingen thought she knew where she would be spending the night, but there was a sur­prise in store for her. A hundred other surprises await the readers of Gentle Annie. The blustering Tatums with their angry eyes; Lucian Barrow, the ragged photographer who specializes in pictures of dead outlaws; and, above all, the Goss family—the brothers Cot and Vi, and their strange, wild mother. This frontier novel roars like an Okla­homa tornado. The punctuation is made with bullet-holes; a pageant of love and terror and reckless encounter springs from every page.
