4.0 out of 5 stars
A valuable picture-guide for the whole Southwest,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nanise': A Navajo Herbal: One Hundred Plants From the Navajo Reservation (Paperback)
The 5-star review is entirely correct. Also gives descriptions of appearances at higher and lower elevations. The thinnish book is a bit large (9"x8") for a hiker to keep handy.Our Navajo guide in Canyon de Chelly only knew the Navajo names of the plants; this book gives Latin, common American, and Navajo names, with indices only for the first two.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautifully produced and useful book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nanise': A Navajo Herbal: One Hundred Plants From the Navajo Reservation (Paperback)
This carefully produced book contains a wealth of information for those interested in plants used by the Navajo people in their everyday life on the Reservation and elsewhere. Fine color photographs are provided for the 100 plants, and outstanding black-and-white sketches are provided too. Medicinal, spiritual, and common domestic uses of each plant are listed. A good companion publication for those wanting to know more about what plants grow on the Navajo Reservation is NAVAJOLAND PLANT CATALOG, written by Vernon O. Mayes and James M. Rominger and published in 1994 by National Woodlands Publishing Company (e-mail address: nwpc@traverse.com)
