Описание: Possibly the most comprehensive and user-friendly ethnobotanical guidebook available in the Pacific Northwest, Gifted Earth features traditional Native American plant knowledge, detailing the use of plants for food, medicines, and materials. Rather than reporting traditional plant use as a set of disconnected and dusty academic facts, it presents a rich and living tradition of plant use within the Quinault Indian Nation.While this guide centers on a single Native American nation, its focus is not narrow. Quinault is a remarkably diverse tribal community, embodying the traditional knowledge of tribes along the entire Pacific Northwest coast; their membership consists of descendants of many tribes, from the northwestern Olympic Peninsula to the northern Oregon coast, who were relocated to Quinault in the 19th and early 20th centuries – including Chinooks, Chehalis, Quileute, Hoh, Tillamooks, Clatsops, and others. Individuals descended from each of these tribal communities have contributed to the current volume, giving it remarkable breadth and representativeness as a guide to Pacific Northwest tribal plant knowledge.Part ethnobotanical guide and part 'how-to' manual, Gifted Earth prepares plant users for all of the minor hazards and pitfalls that accompany their quest – from how to avoid accidentally eating a bug hidden within a salal berry, to how to avoid blisters when peeling the tender stalks of cow parsnip. A celebration of enduring Native American knowledge, this book will also help non-specialists as they discover the potentials of the region's wild plants, learning how to identify, gather, and use many of the plants that they encounter in the Northwestern landscape.As beautiful as it is informative, Gifted Earth sets the tone for a new generation of ethnobotanical guides – guided by the values, vision, and voice of Native American communities eager to promote a sustainable, balanced relationship between plant users and the rich plant communities of the Pacific Northwest.

Описание: A Bedouin asking a fellow tribesman about grazing conditions in other parts of the country says first simply, ""Fih hayah?"" or ""Is there life?"" A desert Arab's knowledge of the sparse vegetation is tied directly to his life and livelihood.Bedouin Ethnobotany offers the first detailed study of plant uses among the Najdi Arabic–speaking tribal peoples of eastern Saudi Arabia. It also makes a major contribution to the larger project of ethnobotany by describing aspects of a nomadic peoples' conceptual relationships with the plants of their homeland. The modern theoretical basis for studies of the folk classification and nomenclature of plants was developed from accounts of peoples who were small-scale agriculturists and, to a lesser extent, hunter-gatherers. This book fills a major gap by extending such study into the world of the nomadic pastoralist and exploring the extent to which these patterns are valid for another major subsistence type. James P. Mandaville, an Arabic speaker who lived in Saudi Arabia for many years, focuses first on the role of plants in Bedouin life, explaining their uses for livestock forage, firewood, medicinals, food, and dyestuffs, and examining other practical purposes. He then explicates the conceptual and linguistic aspects of his subject, applying the theory developed by Brent Berlin and others to a previously unstudied population. Mandaville also looks at the long history of Bedouin plant nomenclature, finding that very little has changed among the names and classifications in nearly eleven centuries. An essential volume for anyone interested in the interaction between human culture and plant life, Bedouin Ethnobotany will stand as a definitive source for years to come.
