Publishers Text

"Eating and Healing" is a global overview of wild and semi-domesticated foods and their medicinal properties within traditional societies. Important cultural information along with extensive case studies provides a clear, authoritative look at the many neglected food sources that remain in use throughout the world today. This volume bridges the scientific disciplines of medicine, food science, human ecology and environmental sciences with their ethno-scientific counterparts of ethnobotany, ethnoecology and ethnomedicine. The book provides a valuable multidisciplinary resource for education and instruction.
