Review
Of interest to those who involved in the use of herbs in the medicinal environment…A fine reference work.
-J. Elliot, Southeastern Naturalist, 2002
…the perfect herbal reference. This is a tall order but it is one that James A. Duke, Ph.D., et al, filled quite well…describes most herbs concisely and, in an equally concise manner, evaluates the scientific research on their use. …The extensive references and their convenient coding contribute greatly to the overall value of the new edition…Dr. Duke commented in his introduction that he meant to create a resource to parallel the PDR® for Herbal Medicine. In fact, this updated handbook accomplishes much more. There is no other modern desk reference that combines such a comprehensive materia medica with as much scientific source material. …the botanical reference that most practitioners have been looking for and it comes highly recommended by this practitioner.
- Kathy Abascal, B.S., J.D., Herbalist, Alternative and Complementary Therapies, October 2002
…879 pages of valuable information about more than 800 useful and rarely used medicinal herbs. …the use of shortenings and evaluations and the concise descriptions makes the use of the handbook as a reference book easy.

Handbook of Medicinal Herbs, Second Edition - James A. Duke
Still considered the definitive work on medicinal herbs and their uses after two decades, the Handbook of Medicinal Herbs has undergone a long-anticipated revision. In the second edition, world-renowned ethnobotanist James A. Duke provides up-to-date data on over 800 of the world's most important medicinal plant species. The book contains more species, phytochemicals, proven indications, folk indications, and dosage data than the first edition in a new easier to use format. The in-depth content, the addition of color plates and over 200 black and white illustrations makes this book the most comprehensive resource on medicinal herbs available.
James A. Duke, Ph.D. Economic Botanist, USDA is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC, where he received his Ph.D. in Botany and was identified as a distinguished alumnus in 2001. He then moved on to postdoctoral activities at Washington University and the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis, Missouri, where he assumed professorial and curator duties, respectively. He retired from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 1995 after a 35-year career there and elsewhere as an economic botanist. He then served more than five years as Senior Scientific Advisor to Nature's Herbs (A Twin Labs Subsidiary). In 2002, he has resumed teaching at the Tai-Sophia Institute Master's Program in Botanical Healing, Columbia, Maryland. Dr. Duke is the author of over 20 books, including the bestselling Green Pharmacy, and the creator of Father Nature's Farmacy, an on-line database that catalogs the nutritional value, chemical activities and quantities, and healing potential of thousands of plants.
