520    "A colorfully illustrated field guide to weeds around the 
       world, and why we should love rather than loathe them. One
       person's weed is another's wild beauty. The intolerance of
       weeds is a mark of how we have turned our backs on nature 
       and urbanized our land and lives. In this enlightening 
       survey, illustrator Paul Farrell reveals the true wonder 
       of weeds and explains the benefits of rewilding ourselves 
       a little. Paul's brilliant modernist illustration style 
       shows us dandelions, thistles, and feverfew in a whole new
       light. Each of the 50 weeds featured is accompanied by a 
       quirky history and a summary of its uses in medicine, 
       cooking, arts, and even industry, alongside occasional 
       gardening tips. Foraging and growing your own food is 
       becoming increasingly popular and this guide helps us to 
       make the most of the plants that grow without any help at 
       all."--|cPublisher marketing
