About the author
Wolf D Storl is a German-born ethnobotanist and cultural anthropologist whose books combine plant lore, folk medicine, and the history of healing traditions. The Untold History of Healing traces medicinal practices from the Stone Age to the present, arguing that Western medicine draws as much on folk and plant-based tradition as on academic science. Bear: Myth, Animal, Icon grew out of years Storl spent observing bears in the wilderness and examines the animal's symbolic role across cultures, while A Curious History of Vegetables and Culture and Horticulture apply the same ethnobotanical approach to garden plants and organic, biodynamic growing methods. Healing Lyme Disease Naturally, written after his own diagnosis with the disease, sets out natural and holistic treatment approaches drawn from healing systems around the world. All five titles are published by North Atlantic Books and reflect Storl's consistent method of pairing field research with practical, plant-based guidance.
