This book is long overdue. Alan Tillotson has done an incredible job researching and compiling relevant information about the uses of herbals from many different cultures. The book is direct and concise and gives a clear understanding of the appropriate applications of natural medicines in modern times. This book is a must-have for anyone involved in healthcare, or anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of the "magic and medicine" of plants. Definitely one of the most practical and valuable alternative healthcare texts to date.

I am a longtime fan of Disney and his art. The original Fantasia was a triumph way ahead of its time. I had serious doubts that such a visual masterpiece could ever be duplicated or surpassed - I was wrong. Fantasia 2000 has captured the spirit of the original movie and has carried on Walt's original concept of "allowing the music to create pictures in the mind". Although long overdue - this movie was worth the wait.
