looking for books/resources on herbalism and steam/machine technology

[GlassJaw]

I'm looking for some book recommendations on a couple of topics:

Herbalism: expanded rules for using herbalism skills, especially in a low-magic setting. A source that listed various herbal concoctions would be great.

Steam/machine tech: material on technology in a pseudo low-magic/steampunk world, specifically based on the Thief video games. I'm not really interested in firearm rules, however. The Thief games featured a lot of non-magic constructs and machines.

Thanks!

Bastion Press has herbs and herbalism and Atlas Games Penumbra line has Occult lore, both with a bunch of herb stuff.

Ooh, that looks awesome! I read the reviews in here on it too. Sounds exactly what I'm looking for.

I actually just got Midnight Against the Shadows and it has a pretty comprehensive ruleset for herbalism. It's a little rules-heavy but it has a pretty big list of different plants and things you can make.

I have the Bastion Herbalism & Alchemy book. It is split roughly 50/50 between the Herbalism and Alchemy parts. It gives details on a Herbalism "school" for lack of a better word as well as various types of plants, herbs, etc., and their uses. I found the book quite useful. If nothing else it can generate some ideas on the subject for you.
