"Wild American Ginseng, America's most famous medicinal plant, is in trouble.

As the world's foremost authority on wild ginseng, McGraw is uniquely poised to present this story based on over 20 years of uninterrupted field research. In this volume, he traces the dramatic ecological history of ginseng in North America, documenting the ginseng-centric view of a world increasingly dominated by both direct and indirect actions of humans.
