Is that a weed? This question, asked by anyone who has ever gardened or mowed a lawn, does not have an easy answer. After all, a weed, as suburban mother and professional weed scientist Nancy Gift reminds readers, is simply a plant out of place. In A Weed by Any Other Name, Gift offers a personal, unapologetic defense of clovers, dandelions, plantains, and more, chronicling her experience with these "enemy" plants season by season. Rather than falling prey to pressures to achieve the perfect lawn and garden, Gift elucidates the many reasons to embrace an unconventional, weedy yard. She celebrates the spots of wildness that crop up in various corners of suburbia, redeeming many a plant's reputation by expounding on its positive qualities. She includes recipes for dandelion wine and garlic mustard pesto as well as sketches that show the natural beauty of flowers such as the morning glory, classified by the USDA as an invasive and noxious weed. Although she is an advocate of weeds, Gift admits that some plants do require eradication-she happily digs out multiflora rose and resorts to chemical warfare on poison ivy. But she also demonstrates that weeds often carry a message for us about the land and our treatment of it, if we are willing to listen.

The impact of invasive species on native vegetation is a major threat to biodiversity all over the world - a threat ranked second only to habitat destruction. Other negative effects of weed invasions include reduced ecosystem services, loss to agricultural production and impacts on human health. This work covers the discipline of risk assessment as applied to the invasion ecology of plants. Taking a global context, it synthesizes theories on plant invasions, introduces a variety of models for weed risk assessment, and addresses procedures for ranking invasive species on a range of scales to determine weeds of national significance. It shows how the application of risk assessment to weed invasion may help reduce weed impact and thereby improve living conditions for people throughout the world. This text is aimed at invasions ecologists, botanists, quarantine officers, policy-makers and community groups wanting to know more about this developing discipline.

American Horticultural Society Book Award Winner: “An essential reference for all who wish to understand the science of the all-powerful weed.” —Better Homes and Gardens “What is a weed,” opined Emerson, “but a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered?” While that may be a worthy notion in theory, these plants of undiscovered virtue cause endless hours of toil for backyard gardeners. Wherever they take root, weeds compete for resources, and most often win. They also wreak havoc on industry—from agriculture to golf courses to civic landscape projects, vast amounts of money are spent to eradicate these virile and versatile invaders. With so much at stake, reliable information on weeds and their characteristics is crucial. Richard Dickinson and France Royer shed light on this complex world with Weeds of North America. Organized by plant family, this encyclopedic volume features over five hundred species in two-page spreads with images and text identification keys. Species are arranged within family alphabetically by scientific name, and entries include vital information on seed viability and germination requirements. No matter what your philosophy on weeds, this guide provides much-needed background on these intrusive organisms. In the battle with weeds, knowledge truly is power, and Weeds of North America is perfect for gardeners, botanists, nature lovers, or anyone working in the business of weed ecology and control. “Royer’s photographs are almost perversely alluring. . . . How can you not be ensnared by a book populated by prostrate pigweed, tansy ragwort and dog-strangling vine?” —New York Times Book Review

When we talk of cultivation, we normally say cultivation of paddy, wheat, sugar, etc. We don't say cultivation of weeds; weeds are to be taken out. Therefore, in the same manner, virtues are to be cultivated. we have to put efforts to cultivate virtues. Virtue, in Sanskrit is called 'satguna' which is that quality because of which the TRUTH is able to express through us. The most peculiar part is that all of us know what a satguna (virtue) is. For example, 'to desire too many things' is not a virtue, and everybody knows it. When we talk of virtues, expression of that reality by us tells what we are.Let us now take a series of virtues that we can discover in us. All of us know what virtues are. If they are the expression of Reality and we are the Reality, why are we not able to discover them? It is already there, but it is covered by something. What we have to do is to discover the whole thing. We all have this divinity dormant in us but the problem is, this divinity is covered. For example take an electric bulb which is already lit. You first cover it with a thin cloth. Then you cover it with a blanket and the third covering is that of a tarpaulin. Let us now remove the third covering. There is suspicion of light being there below the first two coverings. Now we remove the blanket and we see the light but not distinctly. When we remove the thin cloth covering, we see the bright light. The light was already there, we did not create it. We have discovered the light. In the same manner, all the virtues, all the values are present in us and the only thing is, we have to discover them.We consist of two components irrespective of age and gender, abilities and disabilities. The two aspects are the matter aspect and the consciousness aspect of the personality. When the matter and the consciousness aspects are at loggerheads, a tragic life is experienced and when they are helping each other, divinity is manifested. This is all we have to learn, as tohow do we bring matter as the friend of consciousness and to bring consciousness to support matter. If this is understood, practiced and thereafter lived, there will be no problem whatsoever in the world. Therefore, we will now take this up on the basis of Ishavasya Upanishad.

What is a weed? Definitions abound, some more clever than true. For the author, weeds are plants that grow uninvited in places disturbed by people or their animals. But although weeds may invade our fields and gardens, most are not aggressive away from disturbed areas. Some have notable virtues, whether medicinal, culinary, or even ornamental. Not intended to be a manual of weed identification — although the descriptions, drawings, and photographs will help readers name many of their newfound friends — or weed eradication, this book is for anyone interested in weeds as plants. A veritable natural history of weeds, it will encourage readers to look anew at these previously unwelcome guests.
