Impressive undertaking Reviewer: Merry Beeson from Tulsa, Ok USA I have been using the book for a folk healing class at the university level. The short reviews and the amazing pictures provide an excellent foundation to the course. I wish it were less expensive I would ask all the students to buy it. The pictures are powerful. It drives home our commonalities and gives land locked students access to other worlds.
