Ethnobiology

Ethnobiology is the study of relationships between particular ethnic groups, or cultures, and their plant and animal environments. This is the single authoritative source on ethnobiology, from the leading members of the Society for Ethnobiology. It covers the entire field, including laboratory biology, medical anthropology, archaeological, ethnological, and linguistic approaches. This unique text allows students to begin doing guided research in any area of ethnobiology, from archaeoethnozoology to ethnomycology. It is suitable for advanced-level ethnobotany, ethnobiology, and archaeologically related courses, as well as research institutes.

Eugene Anderson is Professor Emeritus at the Department of Anthropology?University of California, Riverside and Affiliated Professor at Department of Anthropology, University of Washington.?He is President of the Society for Ethnobiology and sits on the editorial board of the Journal of Ethnobiology.?Dr. Anderson has 45 years of teaching experience in most areas of Anthropology.
