Title: [Literature]
Post by: cloud on April 14, 2014, 11:03:17 AM

I thought this thread could perhaps have recommendations/suggestions of interesting books (plant/botany related) that have been read, or are of interest. This thread does not pertain exclusively to one aspect of plants. (For more specifics see: The references and Gardening resources http://sharetheseeds.me/forum/index.php?topic=234.msg315#msg315 (http://sharetheseeds.me/forum/index.php?topic=234.msg315#msg315) and seed library http://sharetheseeds.me/forum/index.php?topic=210.0 (http://sharetheseeds.me/forum/index.php?topic=210.0) threads Mandrake created)

Maybe it can be organised according to various subsections at a later stage, but for now..

Miscellaneous:

Pollan, M.2001. The botany of desire: a plant's-eye view of the world. Random House LLC.

  Pharmako trilogy by Dale Pendell especially Pharmako Gnosis ...he does an amazing job of tying together history,culture,folklore, botany,magical practice, and all the Power Plants of the Poison Path...great sense of humour too
