Rezensionen

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
