[.ca] How To Grow Fresh Air (ISBN 0140262431)

An Essential Reference Book:
I used this invaluable book as a resource and reference in my book, Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify & Energize Your Life, Your Home & Your Planet because it proves that plants remove toxic chemicals in the home. Bill Wolverton, Ph.D., of Wolverton Environmental Services in Mississippi, spent the past twenty-five years researching the healthful benefits of plants. He names fifty best houseplants to clean up your environment. They are listed in descending order, with the overall rating based on the plants ability to remove chemical vapors, ease of cultivation, susceptibility to insect infestation and transpiration rate. Dr. Wolverton provides details, advice and growing tips on all fifty plants. Each of the fifty plants is shown in full color with an additional closeup photograph of each plant. author of the award winning book,Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life, Your Home and Your Planet

A beautiful book!:
This book not only gives concise, quantitative data about which substances each plants removes from the air, but combines this data with other factors like ease of care and pest resistance to give one overall ranking to each plant. The introduction is fascinating, especially the part about his eco-house which uses plants to clean his water waste as well as the air. However, what I like best about the book is the gorgeous pictures. I have never seen a plant book with such large, glossy pictures of such perfect plants matched with the ideal pot. It's beautiful!

Clearly written jargon-free guide to growing helpful plants:
I found this book well-written and easy to use. It helped me select the right plants and learn how to grow them. I currently have about 25 plants, and they are all low maintenance and problem-free. My indoor air quality has improved, and my house looks great with so many green plants of all shapes and sizes. This book is great!!!!

A must read for people with allergies:
I have been evaluated by a specialist in environmental issues. He suggested that I buy a few houseplants and even gave me a list. However, as a person with absolutely NO indoor plants before this, I needed more info. This book is absolutely the one I needed. It gives more than enough data about taking care of wonderful houseplants - complete with pictures. I highly suggest this book for anyone, especially those with environmental problems. BUY!!!
