Abstract:
This book is at once heavy and light, comprehensive and extensive, conservative and modern. A broad spectrum of pharmacognosy is presented in a uniquely holistic manner. Numerous color photographs, didactic illustrations, and precise descriptions introduce the herbs found not only in Europe but throughout the world, showing the uses of herbs, their active ingredients, and the chemical structures and biosynthesis of biologically active molecules with beneficial and harmful effects. This excellent, well-presented encyclopedia on medicinal plants also includes descriptions of analytical and structural research and biotechnological methodology. Herbs and active molecules are classified according to the current biogenetic system. Designed for the professional education and training of students, pharmacists, physicians, and chemists, it is equally aimed at a broader scientific audience interested in botany and the analytical chemistry and biochemistry of natural products. .
