Footprints of the Forest

Editorial Reviews
Review

"The complete ethnobotany has yet to be written, but Footprints of the Forest... moves one step closer to that Sisyphean goal.... I know of no other work as comprehensive as this one." -- BioScience

"The most detailed and thorough analysis ever produced of indigenous plants and plant use in Amazonia.... Balée's perspective skillfully integrates historical and ethnohistorical data with his contemporary research, yielding a finely nuanced view of Ka'apor ethnology and neatly meshed comparisons with a number of other Amazonian groups." -- American Anthropologist

"This book provides a unique insight into the relationships between an Amazonian people and the botanical environment of the Amazon Basin." -- Southeastern Naturalist

The complete ethnobotany has yet to be written, but Footprints of the Forest. . . moves one step closer to that Sisyphean goal. . . . I know of no other work as comprehensive as this one.
