Reviewed by E Ernst, Exeter, UK

This is one of the most successful textbooks of herbal medicine. FACT has reviewed previous editions in more detail (Focus Altern Complement Ther 2000; 5: 158–9). The fact that it is now in its fifth edition speaks for itself. The content of this edition has been extensively updated. There is more emphasis on clinical data than in previous editions. Thus the book can also be used by busy clinicians as a reference text. This volume should be regarded as essential reading for anyone with more than a fleeting interest in herbal medicine.
