The Bavarian ethnobotanist.
There isn't much in lieu of younger pictures of him, so I guess we'll just have to make-do.
(From Wikipedia)
Wolf Storl, a trained professional anthropologist, has concerned himself with shamanism and healing in traditional societies. Over the years, he was confronted with the fact that in all cultures plants play an overriding role in all aspects of life, including sacred symbolism, magic, medicine, foods and poisons. This shamanistic and ethnobotanic focus is, so to speak, the recurrent theme of his work. Storl was born in Saxony, Germany. When he was eleven years old, his family emigrated to rural Ohio, where he grew up, spending most of his free time exploring nature. 1966 he received a BA in Anthropology from the Ohio State University. Storl is a frequent guest on German, Swiss and Austrian television, and has appeared on the BBC. He lives with his family and a number of pets in the forested foothills of the Alps in southern Germany, where he gardens, collects herbs, conducts ethnobotanic studies and writes his books.
