"This book represents a significant contribution in that it compiles so much diverse information about uses of plants of this one geographic area."-Don Mansfield, Albertson College of Idaho "Designed for the layperson rather than for the professional botanist. Usable keys, two short but useful glossaries (botanical terms and medical), and simple, helpful black-and-white drawings of many of the plants."-CHOICE
