Beschreibung:
Lytton John Musselman is the Mary Payne Hogan Distinguished Professor of Botany and former department chair of Biological Sciences, Old Dominion University. Recipient of four Fulbright awards, he has worked extensively in the Middle East and Africa, specializing in parasitic weeds in African agriculture and ethnobotany. His most recent books include Edible Wild Plants of the Carolinas (with Peter Schafran) and Wildflowers of the Adirondacks (with Donald Leopold).
This is a treatment of the plants mentioned in the Old and New Testaments, their uses, ecology, history, beauty, and symbolism. The book includes more than three hundred original photographs by the author from field and ethnobotanical studies over the past four decades. Special attention has been paid to plants that have been misunderstood in previous treatments. Recent advances in analytical techniques in archaeobotany, including sophisticated chemical and genomic methods, have helped elucidate the identity of problematic Bible plants. Also included is a review of recent literature on the plants. The volume will be an invaluable resource to students of the Bible, theologians, botanists, and translators.
