Rezensionen

"Amazon Fruits: An Ethnobotanical Journey, Nigel Smith has produced a treasure of ethnobotanical observations that in all likelihood can never be replicated. I encourage anyone with an interest in ethnobotany to either purchase these volumes for themselves, or encourage their local library to do so." (Robert Voeks, Economic Botany, Vol. 78 (2), 2024)
