If people knew how many poisonous plants are commonly found in homes and gardens, they'd be shocked. Plants as common as monkshood, castorbean, and oleander are not just dangerous, they're deadly. The North American Guide to Common Poisonous Plants and Mushrooms is a comprehensive, easy-to-use handbook. The book is split into four main categories: mushrooms, wild plants, ornamental and crop plants, and houseplants. Each plant entry includes a clear photograph to aid the task of identification, a description of the plant, notes on where they commonly occur, and a description of their toxic properties. Plants are listed by common name to assist the non-specialist.

This book provides picture identification for over 275 wildflowers that can be found in Midwestern North America. Each ID provides the flowers common name, botanical name, time of year the flower can be found in bloom and tells if the flower is a native or nonnative species. The pages are organized by color making it quick and easy to find and identify your flower. All the pictures used in the book were taken by myself in my home state of Illinois.
