Books by Richo Cech:
Growing Plant Medicine Set — Vols 1 and 2, complete.
The book consists of:
The further adventures of the Cech family, this time camping in the roughshod Red Buttes wilderness. The usual combination of cuteness, herbs, nature, adventure, bats and robots. 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 Vol. 1, will want to buy that, too! Vol. 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.
Other books by Richo Cech
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.
