The full colour, beautifully illustrated Modern Medicines from Plants: Botanical histories of some of modern medicine's most important drugs features information on plants from which we obtain modern prescription medicines. It outlines their historical uses as herbal medicines in the past two millennia, using primary sources, and describes how extracts from them, and their semisynthetic and synthetic derivatives, were developed to be today's therapeutic drugs and diagnostic chemicals. This book describes medicinal plants and their habitats, the diseases that their medicines treat, and the science of how they work. This amazing and unique book is a wonderful read for those with an interest in both herbal and prescription medicines. Written with authority by physicians and gardeners at the Garden of Medicinal Plants at the Royal College of Physicians, London, chapters detail the history and modern scientific research on plants and their medicines. It is very useful to physicians, pharmacists, herbalists, historians and gardeners, bringing together information from every discipline to make it a work of interest as well as reference.

Tender and great taste
Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I love this so much. I’m subscribing to it. They are so tender and really a good snack snacks to eat. I don’t think I’ve had a jerky anything like this before. It makes everything else not taste good

Good Flavor, Inconsistent Dehydration
Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Discovered this jerky after looking for a cheaper alternative to beef. First and second batch were great. Third and fourth batches have been really wet and sticky, almost like they weren't dehydrated properly.

Oishi !
Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 2)
This Korean bulgogi flavor is similar to Japanese teriyaki sharing an ideal balance between salty tangy soy sauce and sweet sugar perhaps bulgogi more garlic prominent and teriyaki more ginger. Nice to have a difference and enjoy both versions of barbeque flavors. Koreans can enhance the flavor with sesame oil and Japanese with miso. The pork used by Golden Island is top quality lean and tender vs. the sometimes inconsistent quality of USA mass market beef jerky.

Must have for any occasion!
Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 2)
This jerky is hands down the best flavor and tenderness I’ve ever had from a bag of jerky. Honestly do yourself a favor and don’t open the bag unless you’re committed to eating the whole bag in one sitting.
