Handbook of Chinese Medicinal Plants: Chemistry, Pharmacology, Toxicology

"Altogether, this two volume handbook provides excellent and comprehensive up to date science-based information on TCM medications in a very well written and easy-to-follow way . . . TheWiley-VCHeditors deserve this highest praise for the excellent layout of the two volumes in its readily accessible alphabetized format." (Buchtipp, 2011)

"Overall these volumes provide a thorough and unrivalled summary of the available information pertaining to the plants commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Whilst ease of access to the information on a non ‘plant to plant' basis could be improved, they will no doubt serve as an invaluable resource to those interested in the fields of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the safety of botanicals in general." (The British Toxicology Society, 1 May 2011)

"With its listing of the complete Materia Medica of plant origin from the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, this work is highly relevant to experimental practitioners in the medicinal and pharmaceutical fields and the only one to provide such a wealth of chemical data." (Forbes.com, 27 October 2010)
