Ethnobotany : Evolution of a Discipline Eds. Richard Evans Schultes, Siri Von Reis, Siri Von Reis Dioscorides Press: Portland, Oregon: 1995. (pp. 414)

This book is perhaps the most current authoritative text on the science of ethnobotany, the study of relationships between people, culture and plants. Several excellent chapters address Mexico and the history of use of plant enthoeogens as well as the use of "Political Ethnobotany," the use of botanical inquiry to support sovereignty and self determination among Indian tribes. This is an academic text that covers several regions of the world and for those interested in this science it will provide many enjoyable hours of reading and an invaluable reference text.
