Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. The book has been written with a view to giving a glimpse of the rich treasure possessed by this great region in its ethnic diversity. Unlike a large majority of ethnobotanical researchers who confine themselves either to ethnomedicine or to one or more socio-economic aspects in their works, the present manual deals with almost all aspects of ethnobotany. Besides information on the land and the people and ethnobotanical uses of 127 plants, indices to uses, families and local names as well as a glossary of words used by tribal people of Lahoul and Spiti are also appended. The data presented are based on actual ethnobotanical surveys conducted by the authors for a period spread over more than three years (1993-96) to collect first hand account of ethnobotanically interesting species at flowering or fruiting stage. The description is supported by figures and photographs. As far as possible, technical terms have been avoided in plant descriptions to make reading interesting for the lay readers. This book will be very useful and will stimulate further interest and urge among budding ethnobotanists as well as in those engaged in work in different disciplines of plant sciences.
