Fetch Tom Browns Field Guide To Wild Edible And Medicinal Plants Narrated By Tom Brown Jr. Manuscript

went slowly through this one, savoring the appreciation for each one of the 'plant brothers' that are described by Brown in the book, Basically, with few exceptions, you can make a tea of just about any plant part and many of them will cure poison ivy itches, lol. Seriously, some of the descriptions are positively spiritual, others feel a bit more forced, All in all, thought it's a lot of fun to imagine being a survivalist using all of these plants to eat/heal/grow, It gives one pause about modern diets and remedies, unique perspective "Grandson, when you can feel the same pain and suffering for a blade of grass ripped from the Earth as you do for that deer, you will truly be one with all things.
" Tom Brown Jr. writes this guide less for information some of which is available in other Field Guides like Peterson's, but to make a doorway to the experience of oneness.
Thus his entries are divided into Description, Personality, Food and Medicine, and the Personality portions seem to be almost the most important, He tells tales the way he learned from Stalking Wolf his Grandfather, He encourages us to use our inner selves and our emotions to know plants,

After reading this, I couldn't keep my eyes off the grass the next day, amazed at how many species were represented in that green lawn and wanting to taste, now.
One of the worst book ever written on the subject, A wonderful companion book to a survival guide, Learn the basics of wild and medical edibles, As it turns out, I had read this years ago, I gave away my original copy, since it hadn't been what I was looking for at the time, Looking at the book with more mature eyes, that was a mistake, While this book isn't an identification guide, it's a wonderful supplement to one, The writing style is friendly and approachable, like a storyteller at a campfire, The field guide to identification would have given me information, easily absorbed and then forgotten, This book is full of knowledge and, in places, perhaps even wisdom, You'll have to find your own copy I'm not giving it away this time, “This book is not a filed guide to the identification of wild edible or medicinal plants, Nor is it a book of prescriptions using wild plants” pg,.

This book contains many anecdotes about when the author first encountered various wild edibles and his experiences and intuition regarding them, He discusses the “personality” of each plant and his spiritual beliefs permeate every page, . . I didnt read enough to differentiate whether he is a pantheist or a panetheist, but his beliefs seems to be somewhere on that vicinity, This is a very strange book, There may be some nuggets here, but I was expecting something more straightforward and less convoluted like those works by Samuel Thayer, For untold thousands of years, human beings have thrived on the nutritional and medicinal wealth of the plant life in the natural world, In these fascinating, wideranging, wonderfully informative stories, Tom Browndirector of the worldfamous Tracking, Nature, and Wilderness Survival Schooltells all about the uncommon benefits of the common trees, shrubs, flowers, and other plants we find all around us.
This indispensible guide includes information on:
