'The Botanical City: A busy person's guide to the wondrous plants to find, eat and grow in the city'. Written by Hélèna Dove and Harry Adès. 176pp, hardback, 283mm x 184mm.

Hélèna Dove manages the Kitchen Garden at The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Cultivating everything from the allotment staples to more unusual edibles, she is a strong believer in using what grows around us to benefit our daily lives.  

Harry Adès is the author of An Opinionated Guide to London Green Spaces and A Field Guide to East London Wildlife, and many other titles besides. His two children are far more talented gardeners than he is, and his cats eat the flowers off his only rose bush.

Good Book, not Parshall though
Format: Kindle
The author uses more Japanese terms than any similar book that I've read but uses western naming conventions for Japanese people. I don't quite know what to think. Good diagrams.

Interesting front to back
Format: Hardcover
Really good book. A lot from the Japanese perspective. Plenty of facts but not so much as to be boring. Amazing how much was hit or miss back then. Or just plain luck.

An important book
Format: Kindle
A very good treatment of the subject matter, especially valuable as it mines the Japanese sources, which have largely been ignored by the Western historians. The narrative is clear and easy to follow & background detail gives important context into the psychological aspects of the events. Definitely recommended!
