Title: Informative and thorough
Review: "Medicinal Plants of the World" strikes a wonderful balance between being exhaustive and too cursory, the book reviews the medicinal properties of approximately 300 plants and discusses some proposed mechanisms of action. Importantly, it carefully points out that there still is a large knowledge gap and that we know very little how these plants exert the effects. The authors point out that, in contrast to standard pharmaceutical treatments, plants contain a large number of different chemicals that may have an effect in combination, which cannot be fully understood based on the properties of each individual chemical. Lastly, the photos are of good quality and are helpful in identifying the plant in the "wild". One aspect that would have been useful for the relative novice is to provide a quick guide to identifying these plants using the botanical characteristics (leaves etc.) of the plants.
