About this title

Synopsis

Love Them to Death encourages readers to envision a variety of economic uses for the invasive plants of their region.

This peer-reviewed, edited volume brings together writings by a diverse group of independent professionals, academics, and artisans, with expertise in a wide range of plant uses—for food and drink, herbal medicines, basketry, livestock forage, biofuel, structural materials, paper, and dyes. From cultural and ecological examinations to practical applications, Love Them to Death looks at troublesome species as resources that might be safely and thoughtfully exploited.
