The Quick Guide to Wild Edible Plants is a great gift for the beginning naturalist and the perfect addition to every serious forager's library.

Focusing on the plants mentioned in the Old and New Testaments, this book explores their uses, ecology, history, beauty, and symbolism. It features over three hundred original photographs taken by the author during four decades of field and ethnobotanical studies. The text addresses misconceptions about certain plants and incorporates recent advances in archaeobotany to clarify their identities. Additionally, it reviews contemporary literature on these biblical plants, making it a vital resource for students, theologians, botanists, and translators.

Offers a colour guide for the everyday forager, featuring profiles of more than 100 edible plants, organised broadly by food type, including seeds, fruits, grains, and shoots; details about taste and texture, harvesting tips, and preparation instructions; amd colour photos that make it easy to identify edible plants.
