The Herbalist

"Herb’s (The Herbalist CD-ROM) walk through the herb garden with the author is a pleasant, charming, and educational experience. The depth and breadth of information on the disk is noteworthy…"

"This is a system you’ll want to explore in detail, not just with quick lookups, because of its considerable serendipity potential."

Cheryl LaGuardia HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY-CD ROM REVIEW

"Hoffmann’s voice and the songs – sung by herbal researcher Jim Duke – are great fun. They are a good way to lighten up herbal study and to also encourage people who are just becoming interested in herbs and the ‘herbal community’."

"This CD offers a sense of adventure to the professional herbalist, the herb students and anyone just casually interested in finding out more about herbs."

Wayne Hoyle AMERICAN HERB ASSOCIATION

"You will agree this is a well done program when you see it. I enjoyed browsing through the very professionally done screens and reading about the effects of various herbs on the many conditions of the body part, system or condition."
