Product Description
The Itza' Maya of the Peten in Guatemala preside over a unique rainforest biosphere in danger of disappearing. Equally at risk is their own botanical knowledge, from their own taxonomy to medicinal uses. This is an invaluable reference set for botanists, historians, anthropologists, linguists, ecologists, historians and all medical fields. The book contains a history of the Peten Itza' Maya; explanation of Itza' taxonomy; tables and keys to plant usage; common names in English, Spanish and several indigenous languages; and much more. The accompanying CD-ROM presents this information in a searchable database, along with hundreds of color photos of plants. CD-ROM is Mac/PC compatible.
