Guide to Wild Flowers and Useful Plants by Christopher Nyerges
An array of abundant wild foods is available to hikers, campers, botanists or anyone interested in living closer to the earth. Written by a leading expert on wild foods and a well-known teacher of survival skills, Guide to Wild Foods and Useful Plants is more than a listing of plant types--it teaches how to recognize edible plants and where to find them, their medicinal and nutritional properties, and their growing cycles. It also includes fascinating folklore about plants, personal anecdotes about trips and meals, simple and tasty recipes, and photographs.
The only book of its kind.. thoroughly written and full of firsthand experience ... packed with the kind of information that makes identifying food plants fun. --Robert Smaus, garden editor, Los Angeles Times
Since 1974, Christopher Nyerges, co-founder of the School of Self-reliance, has guided hundreds of pupils on wild food hikes. He's written ten books about wild foods, survival, and self-sufficiency, as well as thousands of newspaper and magazine articles. He continues to teach in Los Angeles County, California, where he resides.
