Ancestral Plants – A Primitive Skills Guide to Important Edible, Medicinal, and Useful Plants of the Northeast, Volume 1 by Arthur Haines. Foreword by Daniel Vitalis: "It creates a deep awareness of our surroundings, allowing us to reconnect with natural places, build confidence in our place in the world and improve our health."</p> <p>About the book: Ancestral Plants begins a multi-volume series aimed at helping people understand the true value of wild plants. By exploring the edible, medicinal and practical uses of regional flora, it aims to motivate people and build their confidence in living healthily and healing with natural plants. More than 100 species are described in detail across 217 pages with 254 colour images. Although this book focuses on plants from the Northeast, dozens of these plants can be found throughout North America and in parts of Europe (or have similar species with comparable gathering and processing methods).</p> <p>Ancestral Plants is published by a non-profit organisation called Anaskimin (the Indigenous Penobscot word for "acorn"), whose aim is to protect open and wild spaces through public and private education. This book is the most practical and user-friendly guide on the subject, and buying it directly supports the conservation of the remaining wild places in a radically new way: by teaching people how to care for and interact with the natural world.</p> <p><strong>254 pages.</strong></p>
