I'm not sure they are botanical experts. They made numerous botany-related errors in their book and they clearly do not have a good understanding of medieval herbals. They didn't even have the correct spellings for some of the modern botanical names. They also had the wrong location for one of the plants that was central to one of their arguments.

From what I understand, their credentials were in agriculture.

As for the award, one of the people who was pivotal in giving the award made some statements about the book that made it sound like he either didn't know anything about the VMS or that he hadn't really read their book in a critical manner.


So, I am not impressed. I am dismayed. I wish I could say something nice about the book and the award, but I can't.
