Plants, People, and Culture: The Science of Ethnobotany (Scientific American Library)

Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
Two leading ethnobotanists argue that human cultural origins are woven with plants: examining the prehistoric use and gathering of plants by hunter-gatherers to modern times, this examines important connections between indigenous peoples' development and concurrent plant discoveries.

Kliatt, January, 1998
This is a fascinating integration of chemistry, botany, anthropology, history and ecology...This is an inspiring book that deserves to be read by anyone interested in conservation, ethnomedicine, and indigenous peoples.
