The New Oxford Book of Food Plants, 1999, 260 p., nbr. ill. coul., schémas, fig., br. -

This book is an illustrated, popular compendium of facts about food plants - descriptions, historical and current uses, and nutritive values. Every plant is illustrated in colour with emphasis on the edible parts, while the text is accessible yet authoritative. This book is a thoroughly revised and updated version of a much-loved predecessor first published in 1969. The original illustrations by Barbara Nicholson are reprinted in full, together with several new paintings specially commissioned for this new work.
