Julia Graves's book is a great book. It calls for every day a very old doctrine, "the theory of signatures", thanks to the long and patient work of Julia to collect and experiment with different plants mentioned. This is a very practical book of herbal medicine that can help you in your herborizations and Crop "simple" and it lets take another look at the plants that surround us. With this book you will discover the language so close but often forgotten. The book is in English but is very understandable English with a high school education. The pictures are very beautiful and very "explanatory". This book is the way for the rediscovery and revival of the theory of signatures and a tribute to this popular knowledge "simple". An indispensable work in any herbal library. Dominique Lepage
