Ethnobotany, Second Edition

by Kim J. Young; Series Editor: William G. Hopkins

Description

Both an ancient way of life and a relatively new and thriving scientific field, ethnobotany is the study of how particular cultures make use of local plants for food, fuel, medicine, shelter, and, in many cultures, for religious ceremonies. Ethnobotany, Second Edition covers all these aspects of this field, with special interest in the significance of plants in the development of new drugs, as modern scientists look to traditional healing remedies for clues in the ongoing fight against disease.
