Produktbeschreibung

In A Forager's Life, Mike Krebill, one of America's most acclaimed foragers and wild food educators, writes of a lifetime in nature and in the classroom - from his many thousands of wild edible forays with young people and adults, to the legendary Euell Gibbons and the first Earth Day, to the rise of today's great foraging wave. It's a story of discovery and close calls - and of course, the best of the wild recipes.
