Wild Plants of the Pueblo Province: Exploring Ancient and Enduring Uses
The homelands of the Pueblo people-New Mexico's Pajarito Plateau  and middle Rio Grande Valley-are home as well to an abundantly diverse  plant community that is virtually unrivaled in western North America.  Plant biologist and former U.S. Park Service ecologist Dunmire and  botanist/anthropologist Tierney have written a book that combines a  high degree of scholarship with a delightfully accessible trail-guide  approach to the traditional uses of wild plants in the Pueblo world.       Wild Plants of the Pueblo Province is an important book about the  region's plant life and its vital interplay with cultures. Its sturdy  laminated paper cover and cloth spine provide ideal backpack durability  but will equally satisfy the armchair naturalist and weekend  anthropology enthusiast. Color landscape photos and individual line  drawings of sixty profiled plants blend to create a book that is  visually rich and absorbing while educational and useful.
