"Ancient Greek herbalists used the term pharmakodynamis to refer to the intrinsic powers of plants. Pendell charts a voyage around the world of plant teachers and allies. Applying poetry, chemistry, pharmacology, and a generous sprinkling of arcane lore, Pendell wends a course through the realms of plant powers, potions, and herbcraft."--BOOK JACKET.
