{"product_id":"edible-plants","title":"Edible Plants","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor over a decade, artist Jimmy Fike traveled across the continental United States in an epic effort to photograph wild edible flora. \u003ci\u003eEdible Plants\u003c\/i\u003e is the culmination of that journey, featuring over 100 photographs that Fike has selectively colorized to highlight the comestible part of the plant. \u003cbr\u003eWhile the images initially appear to be scientific illustrations or photograms from the dawn of photography when plants were placed directly on sensitized paper and exposed under the sun, a closer look reveals, according to Liesl Bradner of the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \"haunting [and] eerily beautiful\" photographs. Beyond instilling wonder, Fike''s contemporary, place-based approach to landscape photography emphasizes our relationship to the natural world, reveals food sources, and encourages environmental stewardship. His clever and beautiful method makes it easy to identify both the specimen and its edible parts and includes detailed descriptions about the plant''s wider purposes as food and medicine.\u003cbr\u003eSumptuously illustrated and delightfully informative, \u003ci\u003eEdible Plants\u003c\/i\u003e is the perfect gift for anyone curious about unlocking the secrets of native North American plants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57313891221886,"sku":"NW9781684351718","price":20.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781684351718.jpg?v=1778592883","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/edible-plants","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
