Ethnobotany of Mountain Regions: Patagonia includes the best and latest research on a full range of descriptive, methodological, theoretical, and applied research on the most important plants of this region. Written by experts in the field, this major reference work provides comprehensive information about the key plants, with the highest cultural value for local and indigenous populations of Patagonia. This region is not politically defined; it includes the southern part of the America continent and consists of lands of two neighbor countries, Argentina and Chile.
This book also considers the threat to this biocultural diversity because of historical processes and sociocultural changes. This volume should be a valuable resource on the biocultural diversity of Patagonia with knowledge from the native peoples to build committed bonds of care with plants.
