Book Preview: #1 The best way to learn about wild plants is to take the time to study them together with an expert. This process takes a long time, but you will learn the most in the safest way possible.

#2 The best way to learn about wild edible and medicinal plants is to spend time doing research in a well-stocked library. Do not rely solely on the Internet for your information, as quality control is nonexistent and mistakes can be fatal.
