This encyclopedic reference work on pharmacognosy covers the study of those natural substances, principally plants, that find a use in medicine. Its popularity and longevity stem from the book's balance between classical (crude and powdered drugs' characterization and examination) and modern (phytochemistry and pharmacology) aspects of this branch of science, as well as the editor's recognition in recent years of the growing importance of complementary medicines, including herbal, homeopathic and aromatherapy.

• No other book provides such a wealth of detail.
• A reservoir of knowledge in a field where there is a resurgence of interest - plants as a source of drugs are of growing interest both in complementary medicine fields and in the pharmaceutical industry in their search for new 'lead compounds'.
• Dr Evans has been associated with the book for over 20 years and is a recognised authority in all parts of the world where pharmacognosy is studied, his knowledge and grasp of the subject matter is unique.
• Meticulously referenced and kept up to date by the editor, new contributors brought in to cover new areas.

• New chapter on 'Neuroceuticals'.
• Addition of many new compounds recently added to British Pharmacopoeia as a result of European harmonisation.
• Considers development in legal control and standardisation of plant materials previously regarded as 'herbal medicines'.
• More on the study of safety and efficacy of Chinese and Asian drugs.
• Quality control issues updated in line with latest guidelines (BP 2007).

For a once standard text in most pharmacy schools, this edition is a disappointment. There are few if any references cited, therefore there is no way to get the original papers and so nothing can be properly cited.

The review tells you little about what to expect in the book making only vague and (annoyingly) general statements about the book's content. If you really want to buy the book, get the older versions published by McMillian. The Sauder/Elsevier version isn't very good.

I would return it, but i desperately need the info it does offer (uses of plants, biological activity of the different plant compounds with specifics as to which plant does what) and will have to make do :((

The reading is dense, but a very good textbook for those interested in Biochemical processes in plants. I highly recommend it, but you must have a strong biology and chemistry background.
