The Uses Of Wild Plants is a unique new book on the uses of the wild plants of North America. Covering the uses and cultivation of more than 1200 species in over 500 genera, it is several books in one:

A guide to North American edible wild plants. How they were used for food by Native Americans, European settlers, and people from other cultures, and how they can be used today.

A book about medicinal plants of the past and present. How they have been used to cure illness, and how they can be used to prevent illness, and enhance health, by providing superior nutrition.

A guide to home, commercial and industrial uses of wild plants. How they can be used for making soap, clothing, building materials, fuel, perfumes, craft materials, glue and many other uses.

A guide to using wild plants could help us to create a sustainable society; by providing new crops for food, medicine, fuels, renewable energy, chemicals and building materials. How they could be used to treat polluted water, desalinate soil, clean polluted groundwater, recover valuable nutrients from waste, and maybe even reduce global warming.

In addition it gives detailed information on how to cultivate all of these plants, and how they can be used around the garden, homestead and farm, for new crops, fertilizers, fenceposts, fencing, hedges, mulch, screens, erosion control, green manures, insecticides and other purposes.
