Flora Britannica The Concise Edition

A concise edition of the British bestseller, Flora Britannica. This smaller, portable edition is organized thematically, rather than botanically, such as Ôtrees', Ôplants as resources', Ôurban commons', and Ômidwinter greenery'. Makes available the fruits of five years of original research. Provides an account of the role of wild plants in social life, arts, custom and landscape. Information has been supplied by people all over Britain -- both rural and urban -- who recorded the cultural dimensions of their own flora, and sent in their memories and anecdotes, observations and regional knowledge. The result is a record of the native and naturalized plants of England, Scotland and Wales. 100+ color photos.
