The goal in this volume is to highlight some contemporary examples of how plants are central to various aspects of healthy environments and healthy minds and bodies. Authors employ diverse analytic frameworks, including: interpretive and constructivist, cognitive, political-ecological, systems theory, phenomenological, and critical studies of the relationship between humans, plants and the environment. The case studies represent a wide geographical range and explore the diversity in the health appeals of plants and herbs. The volume begins by considering how plants may intrinsically be ?healthful? and the notion that ecosystem health may be a literal concept used in contemporary efforts to increase awareness of environmental degradation. The book continues with the exploration of the ways in which medically-pluralistic societies demonstrate the entanglements between the environment, the state and its citizens. Profit driven models for the extraction and production of medicinal plant products are explored in terms of health equity and sovereignty. Some of the chapters in this volume work to explore medicinal plant knowledge and the globalization of medicinal plant knowledge. The translocal and global networks of medicinal plant knowledge are pivotal to productions of medicinal and herbal plant remedies that are used by people in all variety of societies and cultural groups. Humans produce health through various means and interact with our environments, especially plants, in order to promote health. The ethnographic accounts of people, plants, and health in this volume will be of interest to the fields of anthropology, biology and ethnobiology, as well as allied disciplines. 410 0$aEthnobiology,$x2365-7561 606 $aPlants$xEvolution 606 $aPlants$xDevelopment 606 $aPlant biotechnology 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aMedical sciences 606 $aPlant Evolution 606 $aPlant Development 606 $aPlant Biotechnology 606 $aPlant Physiology 606 $aHealth Sciences 615 0$aPlants$xEvolution. 615 0$aPlants$xDevelopment. 615 0$aPlant biotechnology. 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aMedical sciences. 615 14$aPlant Evolution. 615 24$aPlant Development. 615 24$aPlant Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aHealth Sciences. 676 $a578.012 676 $a578.09 702 $aOlson$b Elizabeth Anne$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aStepp$b John Richard$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157473803321 996 $aPlants and Health$92536178 997 $aUNINA
