BOOK



The single comprehensive treatment of the field, from the leading

members of the Society of Ethnobiology



The field of ethnobiology the study of relationships between

particular ethnic groups and their native plants and animals has

grown very rapidly in recent years, spawning numerous subfields

Ethnobiological research has produced a wide range of medicines

natural products, and new crops, as well as striking insights

into human cognition, language, and environmental management

behavior from prehistory to the present



This is the single authoritative source on ethnobiology, covering

all aspects of the field as it is currently defined. Featuring

contributions from experienced scholars and sanctioned by the

Society of Ethnobiology, this concise, readable volume provides

extensive coverage of ethical issues and practices as well as

archaeological, ethnological, and linguistic

approaches



Emphasizing basic principles and methodology, this unique

textbook offers a balanced treatment of all the major subfields

within ethnobiology, allowing students to begin guided research

in any related area from archaeoethnozoology to ethnomycology to

agroecology. Each chapter includes a basic introduction to each

topic, is written by a leading specialist in the specific area

addressed, and comes with a full bibliography citing major works

in the area. All chapters cover recent research, and many are new

in approach; most chapters present unpublished or very recently

published new research. Featured are clear, distinctive

treatments of areas such as ethnozoology, linguistic

ethnobiology, traditional education, ethnoecology, and indigenous

perspectives. Methodology and ethical action are also covered up

to current practice



Ethnobiology is a specialized textbook for advanced

undergraduates and graduate students; it is suitable for

advanced-level ethnobotany, ethnobiology, cultural and political

ecology, and archaeologically related courses. Research

institutes will also find this work valuable, as will any reader

with an interest in ethnobiological fields
