SUMMARY:Rebecca Lerner, Dandelion Hunter
DESCRIPTION:In Dandelion Hunter, forager-journalist Rebecca Lerner set
 s out on to find her inner hunter-gatherer in the city of Portland, Or
 egon. The result is engaging, uplifting, and often humorous. After a d
 isheartening week trying to live off wild plants from the streets and 
 parks near her home, she learns the ways of the first people who lived
  there and, along with a quirky cast of characters, discovers an array
  of useful wild plants hiding in plain sight. 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 at Nature in a very different way.   Rebecca Lerner has quick
 ly become one of the best-known urban foragers in America via her wide
 ly read blog, www.FirstWays.com, in which she aims to \"inspire and em
 power my fellow human beings to remember who we really are.\" She live
 s in Portland, Oregon, where she enjoys working as a nature educator, 
 speaker, and writer. She has an MFA in creative nonfiction writing fro
 m Goucher College.\nVillage Books Literature Live, co-sponsored by Tra
