• Sommario/riassunto: "Ethnobiology is the study of relationships between particular ethnic groups, or cultures, and their plant and animal environments. This is the single authoritative source on ethnobiology, from the leading members of the Society for Ethnobiology. It covers the entire field, including laboratory biology, medical anthropology, archaeological, ethnological, and linguistic approaches. This unique text allows students to begin doing guided research in any area of ethnobiology, from archaeoethnozoology to ethnomycology. It is suitable for advanced-level ethnobotany, ethnobiology, and archaeologically related courses, as well as research institutes"--; "This book covers the entire field, including laboratory biology, medical anthropology, archaeological, ethnological and liguistic approaches. Chapters are written by leading experts in the field, and where one clear thought leader exists, we have sought out that individual. This will be the most authoritative work in Ethnobiology for a long time to come and will not rapidly become utdated as it is likely to remain the classic in the field"--
