Australian Medicinal Plants is an essential guide and invaluable resource for all those interested in herbal medicine, Aboriginal culture and Australian flora.

With the arrival of Europeans much of this knowledge was overtaken by modern drugs and techniques but today there is a revival of interest in traditional medicines.

There is information on nearly 500 individual plants, how they were used, what their known pharmacological constituents are, where to find them and how to prepare remedies. The species are helpfully arranged in chapters according to their use: for fevers, painkillers, antiseptics and digestive disorders for instance. - many hundreds of species covered in detail - colour photographs of many species enabling quick and easy identification - where to find particular species - how to prepare them for medicinal use - interesting historical facts on the Aboriginal uses. ...Show more

The Pathology of Food and Pasture Legumes by D. J. Allen (Editor); J. M. Lenné (Editor)

$75.00 AUD

Category: RARE AND COLLECTIBLE | Series: CABI Publishing Ser.

The plant family Leguminosae is second in economic importance only to Gramineae, which includes the world's cereals and pasture grasses. Indeed, about one quarter of the total output of crop protein in the world as a whole is derived from legumes, which are of great importance both in human diets and in the feeding of livestock. Production is nevertheless limited by major diseases, and therefore there is a great need for a reference book on the pathology of food and pasture legumes. This book fills that need and provides substantial critical reviews of each crop type. It is written by leading research workers from the USA, UK, India, Nigeria, Malawi, New Zealand, Syria and Uganda. The content is thus applicable to both the developed and the developing world, and to temperate and tropical zones. Well illustrated with both monochrome and color plates, and thoroughly referenced to the research literature, it represents an indispensable volume for plant pathologists and legume agronomists. ...Show more
