As she harvests them for food, medicine, and just-in-case apocalypse insurance, Lerner delves into anthropology, urban ecology and sustainability, and finds herself looking atÂ Nature in a very different way.Â ,Â Humorous, philosophical, and informative, ,Dandelion Hunter ,has something for everyone, from the curious neophyte to the seasoned forager.Â
