«This book entitled Terrestrial Flora of the Azores, written by Virgílio Vieira, Mónica Moura and Luís Silva, three internationally renowned researchers from the University of the Azores, is a valuable compilation work for all those who wish to know the ornamental value of trees, herbaceous plants, flowers and fruits, its nutritional potential, as well as the phytotherapeutic and synergistic effects of some of its components that help us to challenge the genetic inheritance and to prolong the quality of longevity. It is a precious work that, without a doubt, will enrich everyone who has the privilege of reading it.»
