This book was released on 2023-07-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Book for Mr. Tyler Pounds "School of Integrated Human-Nature Relations". The "School of Integrated Human-Nature Relations" combines the fields of Anthropology,Wildlife Biology (Botany, Ecology, Zoology) into a cohesive integrated format. The school (and thus this book) delves into the direct links and relationships that humans have with nature. Exploring the direct links and relationships that humans have with nature is a critical first step on solving the worlds "biodiversity crisis". This book uses the fields of Ecological Anthropology, Ethnobotany, Integrated Biology to showcase biodiversity on Native American reservations as well as showcasing how Ethnographic field methods can be integrated and used for wildlife management through an "Ecosystem Service" lens. The showcasing of ecological data sets on Native American reservations is critical in proving to the world just how important and invaluable Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) Systems are in conserving the worlds biodiversity. Integrating and "bridging of the sciences" will be crucial in solving the worlds biodiversity and global climate change crisis. We now stand in the "Anthropocene Epoch" of human caused ecological destruction. To value nature is to value one's own self and well-being.Current Reviewers: E.O.

Download or read book Ethnobotany written by Gary J. Martin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-29 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnoecology has blossomed in recent years into an important science because of the realization that the vast body of knowledge contained in both indigenous and folk cultures is being rapidly lost as natural ecosystems and cultures are being destroyed by the encroachment of development. Ethnobotany and ethnozoology both began largely with direct observations about the ways in which people used plants and animals and consisted mainly of the compilation of lists. Recently, these subjects have adopted a much more scientific and quantitative methodology and have studied the ways in which people manage their environment and, as a consequence, have used a much more ecological approach. This manual of ethnobotanical methodology will become an essential tool for all ethnobiologists and ethnoecologists. It fills a significant gap in the literature and I only wish it had been available some years previously so that I could have given it to many of my students. I shall certainly recommend it to any future students who are interested in ethnoecology. I particularly like the sympathetic approach to local peoples which pervades this book. It is one which encourages the ethnobotanical work by both the local people themselves and by academically trained researchers. A study of this book will avoid many of the arrogant approaches of the past and encourage a fair deal for any group which is being studied. This manual promotes both the involvement oflocal people and the return to them of knowledge which has been studied by outsiders.

Download or read book Plains Apache Ethnobotany written by Julia A. Jordan and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One tribe’s traditional knowledge of plants, presented for the first time Residents of the Great Plains since the early 1500s, the Apache people were well acquainted with the native flora of the region. In Plains Apache Ethnobotany, Julia A. Jordan documents more than 110 plant species valued by the Plains Apache and preserves a wealth of detail concerning traditional Apache collection, preparation, and use of these plant species for food, medicine, ritual, and material culture. The traditional Apache economy centered on hunting, gathering, and trading with other tribes. Throughout their long history the Apache lived in or traveled to many different parts of the plains, gaining an intimate knowledge of a wide variety of plant resources. Part of this traditional knowledge, especially that pertaining to plants of Oklahoma, has been captured here by Jordan’s fieldwork, conducted with elders of the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma in the mid-1960s, a time when much traditional knowledge was being lost. Plains Apache Ethnobotany is the most comprehensive ethnobotanical study of a southern plains tribe. Handsomely illustrated, this book is a valuable resource for ethnobotanists, anthropologists, historians, and anyone interested in American Indian use of native plants.

Download or read book Native American Food Plants written by Daniel E. Moerman and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2010-10-27 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on 25 years of research that combed every historical and anthropological record of Native American ways, this unprecedented culinary dictionary documents the food uses of 1500 plants by 220 Native American tribes from early times to the present. Like anthropologist Daniel E. Moerman’s previous volume, Native American Medicinal Plants, this extensive compilation draws on the same research as his monumental Native American Ethnobotany, this time culling 32 categories of food uses from an extraordinary range of species. Hundreds of plants, both native and introduced, are described. The usage categories include beverages, breads, fruits, spices, desserts, snacks, dried foods, and condiments, as well as curdling agents, dietary aids, preservatives, and even foods specifically for emergencies. Each example of tribal use includes a brief description of how the food was prepared. In addition, multiple indexes are arranged by tribe, type of food, and common names to make it easy to pursue specific research. An essential reference for anthropologists, ethnobotanists, and food scientists, this will also make fascinating reading for anyone interested in the history of wild and cultivated local foods and the remarkable practical botanical knowledge of Native American forbears.
