I'm not really sure, but the idea took flight one evening while watching geese returning to the north in late spring.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt was geese, to gooseberry to goose grass, to duckweed, to bird's foot trefoil and away it went, in my mind. Chicken of the woods, birds's nest and turkey tail next came to mind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI then began to explore the phrase \"birds of a feather\", and realized that herbalism is often a lonely profession; colleagues and students are special and rare.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA feather in one's cap signifies a special or distinct accomplishment, and it is true that herbal studies are often associated with inner learning and integration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe expression \"in fine or good feather\" means to be in good humor or health, and that is the whole idea of this book. A bird in the hand suggests you are already in possession of something such as this book, while two birds in the bush are something unsure or tentative. So take a gander. If you are a night owl, all the better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Dale Rogers Rh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1494823543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781494823542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.62d","brand":"Robert Dale Rogers Rh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439433527551,"sku":"9781494823542","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef453f69-ccb5-4cd2-b046-9039b30a0bec.jpg?v=1777177600","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/henbane-hawkweed-and-other-high-robert-dale-rogers-rh-9781494823542","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
