Duke provides data on over 800 of the worlds most important medicinal plant species. It contains more species ."Of interest to those who involved in the use of herbs in the medicinal environment…A fine reference work"
—J. Elliot, Southeastern Naturalist, 2002
“…the perfect herbal reference. This is a tall order but it is one that James A. Duke, Ph.D., et al, filled quite well…describes most herbs concisely and, in an equally concise manner, evaluates the scientific research on their use. …The extensive references and their convenient coding contribute greatly to the overall value of the new edition…Dr. Duke commented in his introduction that he meant to create a resource to parallel the PDR® for Herbal Medicine. In fact, this updated handbook accomplishes much more. There is no other modern desk reference that combines such a comprehensive materia medica with as much scientific source material. …the botanical reference that most practitioners have been looking for and it comes highly recommended by this practitioner.”
— Kathy Abascal, B.S., J.D., Herbalist, Alternative and Complementary Therapies, October 2002
“…879 pages of valuable information about more than 800 useful and rarely used medicinal herbs. …the use of shortenings and evaluations and the concise descriptions makes the use of the handbook as a reference book easy.”
