Ethnobotany: A Methods Manual (People and Plants Conservation)  (People and Plants International Conservation)
I caught a glimpse of the table of contents, and it looks  wonderful - Society for Economic Botany Newsletter; ...provides a  detailed  overview of this emerging discipline. Aimed primarily at  researchers  who are beginning field studies, it gives clear  descriptions of the  skills and methods most commonly employed by  ethnobotanists. It will  also be of interest to experienced field  workers who wish to review  new concepts and techniques drawn from  botany, anthropology,  economics, ethnopharmacology and other  disciplines.. - Krypto News;  However, in keeping the text firmly  focused on the discussion of  field techniques and rooted in a project  base, with the use of real  examples, Martin succeeds in providing  some valuable information  about research tools. I greatly appreciated  the final section which  offered ethical guidelines for conducting  ethnobotanical studies with  local people, communities and indigenous  organisations. -  International Journal of Environmental Studies;  Nominated for the  1996 Society for Economic Botany Newsletter  Outstanding Book Award--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
