Ireland`s Generous Nature – The Past and Present Uses of Wild Plants in Ireland - Peter Wyse Jackson - Bog

Bag om Ireland`s Generous Nature – The Past and Present Uses of Wild Plants in Ireland

Ireland's Generous Nature is the first ever comprehensive account of the historical and present-day uses of wild plant species in Ireland. It records a wealth of traditional knowledge about Irish plant use, knowledge that has been disappearing fast. More than 1500 wild plants are detailed in a systematic list, which gives both their Irish and English names. Many historical references have been included from a wide range of Irish literature. This lively and scholarly book shows how plants have been used in virtually every aspect of human life in Ireland: food, clothes, medicine, construction, drinks, veterinary medicine, human health and beauty, and even death.
