Just submitted The Green Pharmacy Herbal Handbook by James A. Duke.
I have done hours and probably days and days worth of work pre-validating and
perfecting this gem of a book. It has been read through, headers stripped, page
numbers protected and junk characters removed. All fractions and numbers have
been verified and are correct. It has LOADS of Latin words.
Here's the back cover info:
In this handy companion to his best-selling book The Green Pharmacy, leading
herbal authority James A. Duke, Ph.D.., delivers the lowdown on virtually every
healing herb available in today's marketplace: its description and history,
therapeutic uses, medicinal properties, prescription counterparts, dosage
options, safety and effectiveness rating, and precautions.
Dr. Duke's inimitable folksy tone and friendly manner shine throughout The
Green Pharmacy Herbal Handbook, making it as entertaining to read as it is
practical. The most thorough,and comprehensive herb reference of its kind, the
handbook was culled from the thousands of entries in Dr. Duke's database of the
world's medicinal plants. The database, which he began during his career as a
top botanist with the USDA, is a lifelong project for Dr. Duke and has become a
major reference resource for herbalists worldwide.
Happy Validating!
