Editorial Reviews

Grandiflora
"I found the information presented about the plants to be comfortably comprehensive."—Diana Pederson, Grandiflora, September 2002
— Diana Pederson
Neighbors
"It is a book that can prove its usefulness over and over again."— Lynette Walther, Neighbors, December 15, 1999
— Lynette Walther
Gardener for the Prairies
"This book is clearly written, avoiding both botanical and medical technical terms. It is a handy reference to poisonous plants found in homes and buildings, gardens, urban areas, and in the wild throughout North America."—Mary Ellen Lloyd, Gardener for the Prairies, January 1995
— Mary Ellen Lloyd
Houston Lifestyles and Homes

A more accurate title might be The toxicity of common plants..., because the thoroughness of the coverage gives the impression that every yard, house, garden, and forest plant has some part that is known or suspected to be at least mildly toxic. A guide for parents, outdoorspeople, and healthcare workers to protecting young children. Includes beautiful color photographs and guides for quick identification of the plant or mushroom, a summary of its toxicity, suggestions for treatment, and additional notes. Annotation c.
