Purchase options and add-ons

Harvesting Nature's Bounty is a treasure trove of nature wisdom and lore. It not only covers wild edible and medicinal plants, and survival skills, it also covers subjects as varied as fish stunners, weather predictors, cricket temperature, pine pitch glue, natural bug repellents, and a wide variety of exciting new culinary sources. This book will show you how to commune with nature and reconnect at a level known only our distant ancestors. This book will empower you with the knowledge and resources needed to begin your re-connection back to the Earthmother. You will learn where the treasures of nature are located and how they can be used and will learn how to assist nature in her recovery as they learn. As you begin to see nature at deeper level, you will recognize all of her inhabitants both large and small and see the significant role each play in the big scheme. When this happens, you will never look at a field, forest, or blade of grass the same ever again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and informative
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2007
This book is unlike any other I have ever read. It shows you how to

connect with nature at a very intimate level making the natural world

accessible to all of us as it was to our native ancestors. You will learn

where to begin and what to focus on in order to integrate with our natural

world. This book covers what was second nature to our ancestors. Almost all of my how-to and what questions were answered in this very extensive book. For instance you might want to know what is available for cooking spices or deodorant or how to keep the mosquitoes and ticks away. It's all in this book and so much more. This is the must have book for anyone interested in reconnecting or finding their place in nature. Nature enthusiasts, hikers, hunters, campers, and anyone curious about how or what in nature will love this book. Check out this great nature book. I keep a copy to use as a reference manual.

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2009
I bought this book to introduce my 3 young boys to nature. It has everything needed to learn how our native ancestors lived in hormany with nature. This is the only book you will need to own in order to learn how to comune with nature. My boys and I have spent many hours useing this guide to explore our place in nature. My boys found it very interesting and educational. We had and continue to have fun in the wilderness together. I would strongly recommend this book!!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Subject Matter - Bad Kindle Formatting
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2010

Book Content: I have always had a fascination with edible plant outdoors type books. That being said I am often dissapointed post-purchase. Anyone who watches Les Stroud knows that you almost need a local, that is somebody with a good background in the local flora, to really come to understand what you can and cannot eat in the wild.

That being said I enjoyed this book for the most part. It is good in that the author focuses on what he thinks are the top 10 important edible plants. So in this way it definitely complements other books like it in my library.

Formatting: I read this on my Kindle and I simply have to report on the formatting. There is something strange about this book that causes my Kindle to slow way down. I have deleted it and re-downloaded, tried reading it after a software update, etc. I can't really figure out what it is but it sure is annoying. Beware...

We loved this book. Very informative and easy to understand. It was such a great book that we got a second one for a gift. It's easy to tell that a lot of research went into Harvesting Nature's Bounty.

2.0 out of 5 stars Be sure this is what you want before you buy...
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2009
...I, unfortunately, was too hasty and consequently quite disappointed with this book. I was under the impression that this book would tell me how to identify edible plants and how to prepare them. Well,...it doesn't. And, the author admits that in the introduction stating that this book is "not a plant identification book". Unfortunately, Amazon's description of the product is kind of misleading. Or, at least, I was misled by it.
In terms of the book itself, I will agree that the author is very knowledgable about this subject, I however found the reading to be quite repetitive with endless references to how Native Americans could survive anywhere with just a knife and a loin cloth.
Also, be aware that all the pictures are in black and white, and most are taken from such a distance that you cannot identify any characterstics about the plant in question. The author states in the preface (2nd edition preface) that "the production costs of having the pictures in color throughout the book are still prohibitively expensive", which is understandable, but as you look through the book you tend to notice that a good portion of the photographs are of the author's son either holding a plant, or just standing in the wilderness alone or with friends. Maybe if the author refrained from such "family outing" photographs and inserted only photographs of what he was talking about there would have been enough money in his budget to print them in color.
Also, if you're looking for tips on survival, don't depend on this book. It's not much better than the old army survival manuals from the 60's. For example, the author describes how to make a Native American "scout pit" which requires you to dig a pit "six inches wider than the width of your shoulders and eighteen inches longer than your body" which should be a depth of "crotch deep for moderate weather and waist deep for severe". He then covers the pit with nicely cut logs which can be seen stacked up in the background. If you know anything about emergency survival shelters, you will see that this is definitely not your first choice.

So, my advice is, if you're looking to "get in touch with nature" and know nothing of the wilderness or how the true lords of North America (the Native Americans) lived in harmony with it, then buy it. If you are already aware of this quite blatant fact and have any experience in the wild at all, and are looking to enhance your plant identification skills, I would strongly urge another choice.
