description: From a review by John T. Frederick in The Rotarian (Dec. 1962): Pictures are an outstanding feature of Folklore and Odysseys of Food and Medicinal Plants, by Ernst and Johanna old and rare pictures of farming operations, of doctors and apothecaries and their patients, of the plants themselves – some 200 of them, from an amazing range of sources. The accompanying text summarizes all that is known about the histories of the major cereals and other food plants, and of those of many of the plants traditionally used medicinally or as the origins of the plants, their often radically changing uses, their journeys from nation to nation and from continent to continent.
