Description

Using riveting stories of fieldwork in remote villages, two of the world’s leading ethnobotanists argue that the very roots of human culture are deeply intertwined with plants. Plants, People, and Culture, Second Edition is designed for the college classroom as well as for the general lay reader.



'Balick and Cox’s new edition of Plants, People, and Culture is both a superb ethnobotanical resource for students of the discipline, and a thoroughly good read for any- and everybody interested in knowing more about the ancient and enduring relationship between plants and people. Balick and Cox continue to set the standard for what a great ethnobotanical text should be, and this 2nd edition can only enhance Plants, People, and Culture’s iconic status.'

-- Dr Nigel Chaffey, Botany One



Michael J. Balick is Vice President and Director of the Institute of Economic Botany and Senior Philecology Curator at The New York Botanical Garden.
