Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder
from Algonquin Books

While this book doesn't cover a huge variety of wild edidbles the text and pictures on the ones it does cover are very useful.

This is a great book for new collectors of edible plants. What's most important for identifying plants? What it looks like in that particular time of year. This has a great layout for exactly that.

Cosmos
from Ballantine Books
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:

I have to laugh that one of the tags for this book is atheist. Was he an atheist? I don't know. But I truly enjoyed this book, and it was a further shovel of dirt on religion in the ground for me. A number of things had led me to that point (taking a philosophy course way back when I was in... more info
