5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reference Book, 15 April 2008
By Norma Lehmeierhartie (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I used this invaluable book as a resource and reference in my book, Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify & Energize Your Life, Your Home & Your Planet because it proves that plants remove toxic chemicals in the home.

Bill Wolverton, Ph.D., of Wolverton Environmental Services in Mississippi, spent the past twenty-five years researching the healthful benefits of plants. He names fifty best houseplants to clean up your environment. They are listed in descending order, with the overall rating based on the plants ability to remove chemical vapors, ease of cultivation, susceptibility to insect infestation and transpiration rate. Dr. Wolverton provides details, advice and growing tips on all fifty plants.

Each of the fifty plants is shown in full color with an additional closeup photograph of each plant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Simple - Easy Reading !, 28 Oct 1998
By A Customer
What a great book. The author writes with a style that is easy to read and easy to understand. It's hard to imagine the results he reports originated with space based research. I'm in the interior plantscape business, and this is a must have for all of my employees.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Resource for Everyone!, 25 Aug 1999
By A Customer
We all live in houses/apts (at least most of us do!) & thus are all exposed to indoor pollutants. This book starts out w/ an overview of what NASA has found out about indoor air pollution & how to combat it... with plants. Plants not only beautify the home, & bring the outdoors in, but they can also provide a big plus to our health. My husband & I got some new windows installed last fall & have done some painting in a couple of the downstairs room. I have kept peace lilies in the kitchen ever since, as well as a spider plant and have had a rubber plant in the living room. All of which are good at absorbing toxins from the air & are good in low light (which is what we have in those rooms).

In addition to being informative, this book has beautiful photos of all the plants & is very attractive. Makes great housewarming gift!
