"This is one volume that I want to own as we enter the post-corporate age: a priceless guide to Southern alchemy. This practical yet enchanting botanical brings an ancient art to modernity. These pages are as rich as the cove forests they honor. Even to peruse Howell's manual is healing, and exhilarating, not only because of the book's inherent beauty, but because it contains vital knowledge all of us will need as fossil fuels dwindle and we return to the local. One day this book may save your life." Janisse Ray, author of Ecology of a Cracker Childhood, Wild Card Quilt and Pinhook: Finding Wholeness in a Fragmented Land "An elegant introduction presented in a clear-as-a-bell style that educates as well as entertains." Peter Loewer, author of The Wild Gardener and Jefferson's Garden "There are many comprehensive volumes about medicinal s in other regions of North America but none for the botanically rich southeast. Now, a widely experienced and knowledgeable alist has written a thorough guide to the virtues of Yellow Root, Rabbit , Dogwood Bark, Sweet Fern and other better known s of the region. From Howell's book, readers can learn to use local s safely and consciously to improve the of their families or patients." David Winston, RH (AHG), Dean, al Therapeutics School of al Medicine "An excellent, much needed resource on Southeastern s. Well thought out and easy to follow." Tim Blakely, co-author of The Bootstrap Guide to Medicinal s in the Garden, Field and Marketplace "I often remind veterinarians that the foundation of botanical medicine lies in the experience of learning all aspects of medicinal s thoroughly. This book guides the reader out of the classroom and into the fields and forest where s become, to the student, more tangible sources of healing. Recommended for any practitioner who wants to deepen their understanding of our native apothecary." Susan Wynn, DVM, RH (AHG), Executive Director, Veterinary Botanical Medical Assoc.
