The further adventures of the Cech family, this time camping in the roughshod Red Buttes wilderness.  The core of the book consists of herbal monographs arranged by plant families I  through Z, thereby completing the 2 volume set.  Those of you who have Vol. 1 will want Vol. 2, and those of you who do not have Volume one, will want to buy that, too!  Volume 2 also includes a chapter on medicinal trees as well as 2 indexes:  1) on seeds per gram of 586 different medicinal plants and 2) on the dry down (how many pounds of fresh herb must be picked to produce 1 pound of dried herb)  for 200 botanicals.  This is a personal book with stories and poems derived from a life lived among the herbs, including our archaeological wanderings, African adventures and farming in Southern Oregon.

I had a dream.  I was sitting at a park bench, the old style with the wrought-iron ends and thickly painted green slats, writing avidly in a notebook as if I were grasping at the moment and trying to record it before it slipped away into the past.  A schoolgirl came up to me, hair all pulled back and a streak of chalk on her collar.  "What do you do for a living?" she asked.  "I write books," said I.  "How many have you written," she wanted to know.  "Four on the shelf, and three in the oven," I replied.  She just said "Is that all?" turned with a flounce and walked away. It left me with the feeling that I should, at least, finish the other books.  I'll work on it.
