From the cover
Many garden flowers, decorative trees, house plants and wild plants
contain substances which can lead to poisoning in humans or animals.
Next to medicines and household chemicals, plants or parts of plants
occupy third place in the statistics of poison cases relating to
children. Plants from all over the world are found in most domestic
environments. The majority covered here originate in temperate zones,
and the text comprehensively identifies potentially dangerous plants,
their distribution, level of toxicity, symptoms of poisoning and
suggested treatment. Illustrations range from actual size color
and black/white photos to enlarged representations of microscopically
recognizable features in fruits and leaves.
The first edition of "Poisonous Plants" was extremely
well received, praised for its combination of wide coverage, ease
of use and superb color illustrations. The second edition is a complete
revision and contains over 50% additional text and illustrative
material, with special attention to North America. The new edition
of this practical reference work will be valued by a wide range
of professional groups for many years to come.
