Resource Guide to Growing and Using Herbs

Author: The Herb in History, Mysteries and Crafts
Author: Zenia Sacks DaSilvaPublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443893501
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
This book is not the usual herbal; not a homeopathic handbook, a cookbook or a gardener’s consort; not even a compendium of history or lore, though these are its favourite pursuits. At heart, it is a tale of humanity’s poignant relationship with nature. Told in short vignettes, profusely illustrated and sprinkled with personal asides, it touches broadly on the role of plants in legend, in religion, in medicine, commerce, crafts and tradition, in literature, language, politics, beauty, in the rise and fall of empires, in food and manners, in love, in murder, and in crushing social passions. It selects from the trove of history and science moments that amaze, or shock, or move us to disbelief, and asks us to explore the uncanny bond between us and our non-speaking partners in creation.
