In seeking solutions to these and other problems which afflict the modern era, it is worthwhile to look into our collective past, to the traditions and knowledges of our ancestors. Such knowledge continues to exist in many parts of the world, though now marginalized by homogenous, Eurocentric ontolology and epistemology. This book presents a compilation of reviews, case studies, and primary research attempting to locate the utility of Traditional and Indigenous Knowledges in an increasingly complex world. It assembles chapter authors from across the world to tackle topics ranging from traditional knowledge-based innovations and commercialization, traditional medicine systems as practiced around the world, ethnoveterinary practices, and food innovation to traditional governance and leadership systems, among others. This book is an important resource for policymakers; scholars and researchers of cultural studies, leadership and governance, ethnobotany, anthropology, plant genetic resources and technology innovation; readers interested in the history of knowledge and culture; as well as cultural activists and political scientists. Features: Unique combination of social science and anthropological aspects with natural science perspectives Includes summaries aimed at policymakers to immediately see what would be relevant to their work Combines case studies illuminating important lessons learned with reviews and primary data Multidisciplinary in the scope of the topics tackled and assemblage of contributors Global footprint with contributions from Africa, Europe, North America, Asia, and the West Indies"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aTraditional medicine 615 0$aTraditional medicine. 676 $a615.882 702 $aKaterere$b David R. 702 $aApplequist$b Wendy 702 $aAboyade$b Oluwaseyi M. 702 $aTogo$b Chamunorwa 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828948103321 996 $aTraditional and indigenous knowledge systems in the modern era$94094037 997 $aUNINA
