Until I bought this book I was afraid to cook wild mushrooms in case I poisoned people. The photographs and clear descriptions of the characteristics of different fungi in this marvelous book are so good that I now feel confident to pick a number of different mushrooms and I haven't made anyone ill, yet! The author also, helpfully, points out what the fungi taste like as there are many that are edible, but not worth eating. Recommended.

I've just ordered this book (or at least my partner did) based on reviews and the fact it was called a photographic guide. Perhaps my book is different, but I was expecting pictures of the plants themselves based on the title.
I did not expect arty-pharty pictures of a glass jug of juice on a table with an oak tree in a field as a background. There is nothing "photgraphically guiding about it" unless you dont know what a wicker basket is!!! Utter waste of time. >>More Details |

Trees in Britain, Europe and North Americaby: Roger Phillips, Sheila Grant September 08, 1978 |
||
|
The name Roger Phillips will already be familiar to botanical enthusiasts around the world. If you have an interest in the plants that surround you, a Roger Phillips book may already adorn your bookshelf. If not, then endeavour to get one soon. A good place to start is his "Trees in Britain, Europe and North America" by Pan Books. Phillips keeps to his style and layout of his previous best-seller on Wildflowers. Plant specimens are clearly photographed on a neutral background, and every specimen you are likely to see is captured in numerous ways. Pictures of leaves, bark, fruit and overall silhouettes make identification easy - even for the novice.

An excellent introduction and reference book for growing salad plants. The usual supects are covered as well as some rather more obscure ones. Creatively illustrated with marvelous photography, Larkcom firstly arranges chapters of salad plants such as stems and stalks, fruiting vegetables etc., as you would expect, but also flowers, herbs and wild plants. She then turns her attention to cultivation and finally ends with a few recipes. Anyone interested in starting a small kitchen garden, allotment or potager will find this invaluable and desperately inspiring. Joy Larkcom has been growing food since the seventies and her knowlege and clear style are inspiring.

I am a complete dullard when it comes to any kind of plant and tree identification.
Often identification is not helped by the context in which the photogrpah is taken: sometimes times against a background of other unrelated foliage and often without any sense of scale. I recently picked up my mother's copy of this book in order to identify a plant (greater burdock) that I had seen in a friend's garden. I was so impressed that I was positively able to identify it from this book that I have now ordered my own copy together with a Tree book by the same author. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone with even a passing interest in wild flowers. >>More Details |
