Ethnobotany: Evolution of a Discipline Paperback – Illustrated, May 19, 2008

A broad range of excellent papers are collected in this volume that gives a variety of perspectives on the history and field of ethnobotany itself. For example, one point that is made is how difficult it is for a Western scientist who had bee trained in an agroindustrial world to understand both the scientific and culturally relevant aspects of a plant, especially since the scientist perspective is so different from the person who has grown up in a culture so different and dependent on a more intimate relationship with the biological world. It will serve as a fine and authoritative reference for my classes where ethnobotanical investigation has relevance.

It's a good book. It talks about the scientific discipline ethnobotany. If you are interested in ethnobotany this is a good book to read and have in your library.

Awesome Sauce!!
