This book is an exceptional work. a must have for those interested in expoloring wild medicinal-botanicals of the northwest. the book has focused on very well chosen medicinals that cover a very broad spectrum of climates. very skillfully done. however, if you are looking for a ethnobotanical text for your local region, i suggest looking into your local university's botany library. i take this book with me every time i go out on a hike or camping. Moore is one of the senior authorities of herbalism in the country. ++++
