Medicinal Plants: Biodiversity and Drugs

"I quickly understood that this was not another book on the origin of plant-derived drugs, rather it is a collection of 21 chapters presenting state-of-the-art information on a wide range of important areas of medicinal plant research with a unifying theme of health and healing, rooted in many distinct and interrelated scientific disciplines. … This book presents an array of medicinal plant research of great importance to global public health. … The dynamic integration of these disciplines in this volume makes the book a valuable tool for many different audiences." —Steven King, Ph.D., Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., HerblaGram100, The Journal of the American Botanical Council, Nov 2013–January 2014
