Guide to Wild Foods and Useful Plants (Paperback)
by Christopher Nyerges (Author), Jr., Ed Begley (Foreword) "The base of the mature
plant is an approximately four- to five-foot diameter rosette (circular cluster)..
Nyerges, an authority on survival skills, discusses 71 wild foods--from agave to
yucca--and tells where they can be found. Some of the more familiar plants are
chickweed, chicory, dandelion, fennel, grass, milkweed, nasturtium, prickly pear,
thistle, and yarrow. Photographs, other illustrations, and textual descriptions of
the various parts of the plants (stalks, stems, leaves, and flowers) make
identification easy. In each listing, the author explains the plant's edible
properties and medicinal uses, where to find it, and its growing cycle. The book
also includes some plant folklore and several recipes. A few of the plants, such
as poison hemlock, tree tobacco, and jimsonweed, are poisonous but have some
medicinal value. There is a pictorial key to leaf shapes and one to fruits and
seeds, as well as a glossary, If you're lost in the woods, the book could save
your life; if you're interested in plant life and botany, the book is fascinating
reading. George Cohen

Book Description
An array of abundant wild foods is available to hikers, campers, botanists or
anyone interested in living closer to the earth. Written by a leading expert on
wild foods and a well-known teacher of survival skills, Guide to Wild Foods and
Useful Plants is more than a listing of plant types�it teaches how to recognize
edible plants and where to find them, their medicinal and nutritional properties,
and their growing cycles. It also includes fascinating folklore about plants,
personal anecdotes about trips and meals, simple and tasty recipes, and
photographs.

Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants in Wild (and Not So Wild)
Places (Paperback)
by Steve Brill (Author) "There are hundreds of fascinating, delicious wild
vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, and herbs growing in our neighborhoods,
backyards, parks, and forests that we overlook.
Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants in Wild (and Not So Wild)
Places shows readers how to find and prepare more than five hundred different
plants for nutrition and better health, including such common plants as mullein (a
tea made from the leaves and flowers suppresses a cough), stinging nettle (steam
the leaves and you have a tasty dish rich in iron), cattail (cooked stalks taste
similar to corn and are rich in protein), and wild apricots (an infusion made with
the leaves is good for stomach aches and disgestive disorders).

More than 260 detailed line drawings help readers identify a wide range of plants
-- many of which are suited for cooking by following the more than thirty recipes
included in this book. There are literally hundreds of plants readily available
underfoot waiting to be harvested and used either as food or as a potential
therapeutic. This book is both a field guide to nature's bounty and a source of
intriguing information about the plants that surround us.

Flintknapping: Making and Understanding Stone Tools (Paperback)


by John C. Whittaker (Author)
Plains Anthropologist : A mid-range user's guide to flintknapping is long overdue.
There have been some admirable attempts to produce such a volume, but these have
been targeted at specific, fairly narrow audiences. Not so with Flintknapping. . .
. [Whittaker's] clear aim is to reach professional archaeologists as well as
hobbyists. I believe he achieves this goal with incredible skill and humor. . . .
I highly recommend this book to everyone interested in flintknapping.

Product Description

"...very attractive to readers interested in ancient crafts, survival skills,


or the history of technology.... far superior to anything currently available."

�James C. Woods, director, The Herrett Museum, College of Southern Idaho

"A mid-range user's guide to flintknapping is long overdue. There have been
some admirable attempts to produce such a volume, but these have been targeted at
specific, fairly narrow audiences. Not so with Flintknapping.... [Whittaker's]
clear aim is to reach professional archaeologists as well as hobbyists. I believe
he achieves this goal with incredible skill and humor.... I highly recommend this
book to everyone interested in flintknapping."

�Plains Anthropologist

Flintknapping is an ancient craft enjoying a resurgence of interest among both


amateur and professional students of prehistoric cultures. In this new guide, John
C. Whittaker offers the most detailed handbook on flintknapping currently
available and the only one written from the archaeological perspective of
interpreting stone tools as well as making them.

Flintknapping contains detailed, practical information on making stone tools.


Whittaker starts at the beginner level and progresses to discussion of a wide
range of techniques. He includes information on necessary tools and materials, as
well as step-by-step instructions for making several basic stone tool types.
Numerous diagrams allow the reader to visualize the flintknapping process, and
drawings of many stone tools illustrate the discussions and serve as models for
beginning knappers.

Written for a wide amateur and professional audience, Flintknapping will be


essential for practicing knappers as well as for teachers of the history of
technology, experimental archaeology, and stone tool analysis.
