Physical Description
Abstract

Following a modern trend of health care during the 1980’s, this book can be seen as what is commonly dubbed a compendium of “alternative medicine”: beautifully illustrated, it includes a comprehensive taxonomy of plants and their properties and uses. But the book also speaks to Indigenous peoples’ awareness of the danger of extinction of traditional knowledge and seeks to depict the fundamental values that people living close to the land possessed.
