Wonders In Weeds

During recent years there has been a great revival in the interest of herbs for both culinary purposes and healing and this has led to the production of numerous books on these subjects, but Wonders in Weeds will be welcomed by those seeking a reliable work by a practitioner who has studied and has had the opportunity of observing the results of botanic therapy over several decades.

This book is the result of practical experience by a man who has devoted his whole life to healing, a man who is anxious to pass on his knowledge to those seeking a safe method of treatment which has no dangerous 'side' effects.

Reviews

Very illuminating...on the cutting edge of current biological research

—— Jon Kabat-Zinn

Byron Katie has rocked my world and shaken loose my mind more thoroughly than any other spiritual teacher I've ever encountered. I would recommend A MIND AT HOME WITH ITSELF to anyone like me - to anyone who has ever felt like her own mind was a very dangerous neighborhood.

—— Elizabeth Gilbert

A truly illuminating and lively hookup of revered ancient Zen Diamond Sutra teachings and a wild and clear-eyed modern sage. It will help you to question deeply, inspire your spirit, and awaken your understanding.

—— JACK KORNFIELD

I think Byron Katie is just a real thing. I love her to death. She's pure and her intent is only to serve and she brings people back to reality so quickly. Teaches them not to believe their limiting thoughts and to question them and find the real truth.

—— Tony Robbins

Byron Katie’s Work is a great blessing for our planet

—— ECKHART TOLLE

—— ROSHI BERNIE GLASSMAN, author of Intructions to the Cook

A wonderfully gruesome tour of inexplicable illnesses, questionable remedies, jaw-dropping operations and recoveries that defy logic... a fascinating window into the world of medical oddities... This tour of strange and unbelievable medical cases from history is funny and terrifying in equal measure.

—— Shelf Awareness

A particularly fascinating reminder of medical advancement… Morris has combed through old medical journals and compiled a trove of the most bizarre, disgusting — and compelling — cases from the early 17th to the turn of the 20th century. It’s like medical rubbernecking.

—— New York Post

The clinical cases Morris has collected, creating what amounts to a medical version of Ripley's Believe It or Not!, are often intriguing, occasionally disgusting, sometimes tragic, but always weird… Morris offers a most peculiar jaunt through medical history.

—— Booklist

A gruesome but weirdly compelling trip through several centuries of quack cures, horrific operations, and bizarre accidents.

—— New York Daily News

[A] series of case studies from our research past that will remind you that we are never as smart as we think. Morris uses images of old documents, and citations from physicians of the past, in way that makes the book both real, grounded—and a lot of fun.

—— Science Friday, Best Science Books of 2018

Morris repeatedly encountered the intriguing and the bizarre. The human aspects of the cases Morris describes are as important as the strictly medical. As well as many self-inflicted tribulations there are a number of hair-raising emergencies.

—— Anne Hardy , Times Literary Supplement

Brilliant, hypnotic, compelling. A great book.

—— Talk Radio

Persuasively shows that small changes can help readers find more joy and purpose in their lives [with] clear, succinct information . . . skillfully compiled . . . into an engaging, easily accessible format with lists, charts, and illustrations.

—— Publishers Weekly

The latest trend to take wellbeing bloggers by storm... A welcome reminder that we should all be making happiness a priority, for ourselves and our communities.

—— Huffington Post

The most eye catching autumn lifestyle trend is the Japanese concept of Ikigai, which translates as “reason to live”… An attractive and absorbing book.

—— Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller
