A commendable work . . . a well-written, well-synthesized, and well-illustrated book on wild edible underutilized plants. . . . It is covers different facets of wild edible plant genetic resources activities, namely survey and documentation of tribal edible plants; consumption patterns; nutritional and anti-nutritional aspects; and nutraceutical aspects, with pictorial representations of wild plants in natural conditions.. . . I am indeed very happy that Dr. Veerabahu Mohan has brought [this book] based on his vast experiences in the field of plant genetic resources over three decades. This book will be of immense value to the graduate and postgraduate students, teachers, and researchers. It is hoped that this book will create considerable interest and greater concern in comprehending the uses of native edible plants, their diversity, conservation, and potential present and future uses. --From the foreword by Dr. N. Sivaraj, Principal Scientist (Economic Botany & Plant Genetic Resources), ICAR-National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, India
