5.0 out of 5 stars user friendly accurate guide
Being a student of rainforest medicinal plants myself, I found this book one of the best, published or unpublished, to-date. The drawings are excellent, making field identification easy. The presentation of both the common and scientific names of plants is invaluable. I found it interesting that the Carribean people of Belize and the Carribean people of Costa Rica...

3.0 out of 5 stars Rainforest Remedies Book
Somewhat disappointed with this book. Does not contain much new information that other herbal and natural health books have. Good for the novice herbalist.

This review is from: Rainforest Remedies: 100 Healing Herbs of Belize (Paperback)
Being a student of rainforest medicinal plants myself, I found this book one of the best, published or unpublished, to-date. The drawings are excellent, making field identification easy. The presentation of both the common and scientific names of plants is invaluable. I found it interesting that the Carribean people of Belize and the Carribean people of Costa Rica (where I am) use the same names and uses for many of the medicinal plants. This book is a wealth of information for such a small price, not to mention, motivation for further inquiry. Thank You!

5.0 out of 5 stars A useful field book., July 14, 2005

This review is from: Rainforest Remedies: 100 Healing Herbs of Belize (Paperback)
Not the best field-guide ever, but a very competent, useful, well-compiled book overall. Drawings are useful, though could use more detail or photos in some cases. Descriptions are useful in identification.

The shining point of this book is in the details after the plant information. Uses, both local and western are given with information that would point you in the direction of further inquiries. Common and binomial names are given, making it even more useful for cross-referencing these plants.

An excellent ethnobotanic book.
