Hawthorn
An engaging introduction to the ancient hawthorn tree and its varied roles in human history One of humankind’s oldest companions, the hawthorn tree is bound up in the memories of every recorded age and the plot lines of cultures across the Northern Hemisphere. In Hawthorn, Bill Vaughn examines the little-recognized political, cultural, and natural history of this ancient spiky plant. Used for thousands of years in the impenetrable living fences that defined the landscapes of Europe, the hawthorn eventually helped feed the class antagonism that led to widespread social upheaval.

Later, in Normandy, mazelike hedgerows bristling with these thorns nearly cost the Allies World War II. Vaughn shines light on the full scope of the tree’s influence over human events.

Samtidig er den generelle viden om havtorn steget markant, og de fleste ved nu, at havtorn er overordentlig sundt, og at bare et enkelt bær indeholder lige sa° meget C-vitamin som en hel appelsin. De to bøger har samlet solgt imponerende 10.000 eksemplarer, og danskerne er slet ikke færdige med havtorn. Derfor kommer nu en tredje havtornbog, der samler alt det bedste fra de to første bøger og tilføjer 10 nye, spændende opskrifter. Flere end 80 opskrifter er der at give sig i kast med, som bringer det lille gule og syrlige bær i spil i ba°de det salte og
