Summary:
*A great cure for stress. Turn to any page and be taken out of your life and transported into the fables and stories in the Russian and Eastern European culture, many of which emphasize an oneness with the natural world around you.
*A great healthy living reference, with a twist! If you have a health problem or want to know what a particular plant is good for you, just go to the index. As you search for answers you will be transported into a world where common foods become effective medicines, vegetables such as beets, potatoes, onions, grapes and radishes are used to whisk away ills, and plants we call "weeds" such as nettles, dandelions, burdock, and coltsfoot, rather than synthetic medicines off Wal-Mart shelves, play an everyday role in the healthy stable life of normal families.
*An excellent source of natural history insights and lore with practical examples about how animals fit into their environment, including a great story about how a badger instinctively knew to bury its burned nose into a moldy tree trunk to alleviate the pain and heal the problem.
*A reminder of the value of our olders--our grandmothers and grandfathers--as founts of valuable knowledge and wisdom that should be lovingly mined lest it become lost.
*A book that is never boring. Every page you turn brings another rich surprise to delight your senses.
