Review Quote
"This is an engaging book, knowledgeably bringing together the worlds of plants, food, agriculture, history, and religious belief." SciTech Book News
β. . . [an] interesting and worthwhile book. Musselman takes more than 80 plants and discusses how each is mentioned in the Bible or Koran, its habitat, and its traditional and current uses, plus he often adds more interesting information about everything from almonds to garlic and frankincense to rose of Sharon. I highly recommend itβ

"This is a fun one. I'm always interested in plants that have literary and historic connections." Garden Rant
β. . . a readable and relevant book for our times. For those gardening with the plants of the Mediterranean, the book will be a treasured resource.β
