"Stewart is so good, as in her previous books, at cutting straight to the most interesting stuff, whether it's about Freud's cocaine use ...or the coyotillo berry, whose toxic agents can sit in your system for a week before total paralysis sets in."
Anthony Doerr, Boston Globe, 05/17/2009

Book Description: ALGONQUIN BOOKS OF CHAPEL HILL, United States, 2011. Hardback. Book Condition: New. Briony Morrow-Cribbs, Jonathan Rosen (illustrator). 178 x 147 mm. Brand New Book. A tree that sheds poison daggers; a glistening red seed that stops the heart; a shrub that causes paralysis; a vine that strangles; and a leaf that triggered a war. In Wicked Plants, Stewart takes on over two hundred of Mother Nature s most appalling creations. It s an A to Z of plants that kill, maim, intoxicate, and otherwise offend. You ll learn which plants to avoid (like exploding shrubs), which plants make themselves exceedingly unwelcome (like the vine that ate the South), and which ones have been killing for centuries (like the weed that killed Abraham Lincoln s mother). Menacing botanical illustrations and splendidly ghastly drawings create a fascinating portrait of the evildoers that may be lurking in your own backyard. Drawing on history, medicine, science, and legend, this compendium of bloodcurdling botany will entertain, alarm, and enlighten even the most intrepid gardeners and nature lovers.
