HI!

I am glad to inform you that Haworth Press has recently published a book
entitled "Handbook of Medicinal Plants", edited by Zohara Yaniv and Uriel
Bachrach. It covers the uses of medicinal plants
throughout history in different countries of the world and presents the
latest plant research. Please, click here to have more infos and read its
table of contents:

The reason why I am informing you about it is that both Alain and I are
among the contributors: scroll the contents and look for chapter 8 and
chapter 9!

A little suggestion in case you were interested in it and would like to have
it: before buying it through the publisher, do a search at Amazon.com and
the like, as it could be on offer at a better price! :-))

Thanks and warmest wishes,
Emanuela
