The W Word (weeds) - Looking for Field Guides and Books and Resources to Learn More

You know all of those plants that are already growing there? W-w-w-w-wild plants? I want to learn more about them. And which ones are good for "Chop and Drop," and what other things you can do besides "Chop and Drop," and why, and what you can learn about your land based on their presence. I've even heard you can "read the land' based on those plants. Any resources you can point me towards would be appreciated, especially books. I have Petersen's for Wildflowers, and Edible Plants, and the one pictured below, but I'd like to learn more about ID, uses, and what they mean for the places in which they reside. I live in NH, USA, Zone 5b.

I use the Reader's Digest North American Wildlife to make ID's.

It has served my purpose for plants, trees, fungi, animals, butterflies, snakes, etc for many years.

A person is not going to learn about which plants are good for "chop and drop" or for building the soil. For this a book on soil building or this "List of Bryant RedHawk's Epic Soil Series Threads":

A person is not going to find which plants are good for the common cold, etc.  More specialized books are needed for that.  I like Stephen Herrod Buhner's books for that information. And also on our Medicinal Herbs forum:
