Really for the picking!

A real small pocket encyclopedia! Very handy for a walk in the mountains or on the paths in the backpack, the book is logical and practical with an optimization. Comments are really conducive to daily picking: early identification, visual quality boards, precise explanations and especially going to the essentials. the little extra is the note to avoid confusion and distinctive characters, details of parts of the plant to harvest the seasons and culinary applications / medicinal. The introduction is also interesting on our historical and cultural link with wild plants and agriculture.

The organization of the book is this: the texts are early for edible plants at the end to poisonous plants; Color submissions boards are at the book center (right and often the faithful drawings showing seasonal variations of the plant or distinctive parts like flowers, berries, leaf, stem etc ..., left with a short description reference to the page number for a complete description). We walk with ease in these comings and goings. And it means a lot as it is on the ground. I highly recommend it.
Minor drawbacks: a colorful cover page at the center boards to separate edible and poisonous would be welcome, the descriptions are often located in the Alps, the Swiss and Belgium ....
