Beschreibung
Neophytes, inconspicuous conquerors. Ethnobotany, healing, and applications. An unusual and unbiased view of the plants that have arrived here. In recent decades, various plants have newly settled in our area, such as giant hogweed, Canadian goldenrod, or glandular balsam. Wolf-Dieter Storl will expertly and knowledgeably show us that they do not pose as much of a problem as many people believe. After the Ice Age, which practically wiped out the local vegetation, neophytes took care of the gradual recolonization of our landscape and enriched our flora. In the countries from which they originate, many of them are considered valuable medicinal, useful, or nutritious plants, and some are even regarded as sacred plants used as shamanic or ritual herbs. This book shows us how we can look at these newcomers with different eyes, how we can understand them, and use them to our advantage. With top-notch photographs by Frank Brunke.
